XBVR/VRBANGERS Scraper Problem

Hello everyone! :wink:
I have a question about a problem I’m currently experiencing.
For a few days now, I’ve been unable to scrape the latest scenes from the VRBangers studio, so I wanted to rescrape the whole site. To do this, I clicked on “Delete Scraped Scene” in the corresponding studio.
I lost all the scenes (normal), but now I’ve re-entered a clean installation of xbvr and I notice that it’s the same, i.e. I can’t scrape a single scene from this studio.
Am I the only one to have encountered this problem?
Does anyone have an explanation?
Thanks for your feedback :slightly_smiling_face:

You need to get VPN, you’re likely in an area where they’ve blocked unauthenticated access to pornography.

Okay … where would your information come from?
I don’t see what this has to do with anything. If it were true, I wouldn’t be able to display their site on any browser, would I?

I had the same issue previously, I couldn’t scrape from multiple sites (VRBangers, SLR) via XBVR, it only worked once I connected to a VPN with an endpoint outside of my state (US). It’s not a total block but it does block content they’ve specified is only accessible to authenticated sessions within the affected region so they just show SFW images.

Ok that’s interesting, thanks for the details.
I’ll have to try, even if I don’t have a VPN account at the moment (I was using Cyberghost VPN but my subscription has expired … 11€ VAT to renew).
is there a free VPN solution that is reliable even if temporary?

I tried with a VPN connected to other countries (Russia, Panama, Senegal, …)
Still the same result, if that’s really the root of the problem could you tell me which country granted you this possibility?

I’ve been using a Poland endpoint
