Interestingly enough I do know there are settings in cloudflare that can
allow lynx to work..a few sites I visit use cloudflare, but lynx is not
blocked.
even edbrowse cannot get past the fanfiction.net door, and its use of
JavaScript is more current then links the chain and e-links, neither of
which work.
Fanfiction.net itself does not require JavaScript, I honestly wish I could
reach the owner and share cloudflare suggestions that still keep them
safe, but open the door.
Your fanfiction server idea sounds like hacking, would not let me use my
years worth of bookmarks again, and as you say produces a lesser result.
In fact I wonder if that is how fanfiction.ws was working until the main
site shut it down.
Do not even get me started on the real problem where the captcha is
concerned, hcaptcha which is the service cloudflare is using that gets
run into with lynx.
Hcaptcha claims they want to be accessible, had a heated discussion with
the
staff a few weeks back. Their own site requires JavaScript to get the
accessible cookies, which is counterproductive.

Two of those you can fix with lynx, but you're never going to solve the
javascript issue just using lynx. I've not tried hitting fanfiction.net using
one of the various encarnations that can handle javascript, it may or may not
work. I also haven't tried changing my identification string, though I doubt
highly?? that will solve the problem.?? I'm guessing that if you could find
the ip address of the fanfiction.net actual servers, and not the cloudflare
servers they use to spread the workload, then you could bypass all these
checks, and then the site may or may not work properly, but at least then
you'd have a fighting chance.?? I'm not convinced cloudflare will let lynx
through no matter what you do try to get around it.
