 * We are getting the “Request blocked by BitFire” HTML code output when trying 
   to run commands like `wp plugin install hello-dolly` – how can we make an exception
   for WP CLI?
 * The error message has a reference ID in it, but I’m not sure what to do with 
   that – there’s no clickable button because we’re on the command line not in a
   browser and there’s no URL to visit that I can see in the code – seems to be 
   generated by javascript whatever the Request Review button does.

 * Hi square candy. Thanks for the feedback.
 * This feature will be released later today with the 4.0.7 release. Once updated
   BitFire will run correctly from the command line and bypass all bot detection
   code for command line access.
 * Please let me know if you see any issues with wp-cli and BitFire after version
   4.0.7.
