You still are using proxies, but it’s not for that reason. Do you mind telling me what this was supposed to do? (It’s a 404)

I was just trying to find random pastebins and I thought proxies were allowed if they weren’t to bypass school restrictions and the proxy is not hosted on replit

Try contacting a mod or something I guess, im pretty sure that’s not against TOS

the same thing happened to me when I tried making a proxy scraping package, as soon as I went to go import proxyscraping api my repl got flagged.

Upon further discussion with the team, this repl does in fact violate ToS, as bypassing a ratelimit is bypassing an access control measure.

ToS reference

  1. Use the Service to create a proxy with the purpose of circumventing any firewall or other access control measure;
