PerimeterX blocks Wallabag, an open source “read-it-later” style app

Created on 25 August 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Until a few months ago, I used Pocket to gather articles and send them to my e-reader. Now that they’re shutting down, I’ve switched to Wallabag, which is a PHP / Symfony app. I have it hosted on my residential internet connection. Unfortunately, all requests to Drupal.org from it to save an article are blocked by PerimeterX.

Proposed resolution

This is tricky! IMO, the rules should be a bit more flexible than they are today. Perhaps they could allow greater accesses to blog posts and article paths. Or, given I’m only adding an article every few weeks, perhaps the thresholds could be tweaked to require more concurrent or spammy access.
