fanfictionnet_ff_proxy: an experimental "proxy" for fanfiction.net

Warning

Very hacky/buggy code - USE WITH CAUTION

This python3 script help FanFicFare bypass the Cloudflare challenge on FanFiction.net by making the user manually resolve the captcha.

1. Create a new python virtual env in ~/temp/ffproxy with python -m venv ~/temp/ffproxy
2. Update pip in the venv: ~/temp/ffproxy/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip
3. Install the requirements in the venv: ~/temp/ffproxy/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

USAGE
