I believe my scraper got blocked, but I can access the website via a regular browser, how can they do this? : <p>I recently wrote a rather simple scraper using requests and BeautifulSoup. The scraper worked perfectly until one day, I ran it and received a "Connection reset by peer, Error 54". Despite there being multiple questions about getting around Error 54's that is not what I am wondering. </p>

<p>To test whether or not the blocked my specific IP or computer, I ran the code on a different machine and IP address and it worked fine. The troubling thing however, is that even on my old machine, I can access the site on a regular browser perfectly. </p>

<p>I am wondering both how the website was able to do this without blocking my IP outright and if anyone has any tips for avoiding this in the future.</p>
