+# FlareSolverr HTML Wrapper Pattern
+
+When using FlareSolverr to bypass Cloudflare on Discourse forums (linux.do, etc.), the API response JSON is wrapped in HTML `<pre>` tags:
+
+```
+FlareSolverr response:
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "solution": {
+    "response": "<html><head>...</head><body><pre>{...actual JSON...}</pre></body></html>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fix**: Extract JSON from `<pre>` before parsing:
+
+```python
+resp = data["solution"]["response"]
+if "<pre>" in resp and "</pre>" in resp:
+    resp = resp.split("<pre>")[1].split("</pre>")[0]
+data = json.loads(resp)  # Now works
+```
+
+**Working FlareSolverr endpoints** (on DO server [REDACTED-IP]):
+- `http://localhost:8191/v1` — FlareSolverr API
+- POST with `{"cmd": "request.get", "url": "...", "maxTimeout": 30000}`
+
+**Known targets**:
+| Site | CF? | FlareSolverr? |
+|------|-----|---------------|
+| linux.do | Yes | ✅ Works |
+| nodeloc.com | No | Not needed |
+| Reddit | Yes | ❌ Blocked |
+| dc.hhhl.cc | No | Not needed |
