Adding a page link rather than my site URL as I know this page is correctly displaying OG Meta

Unfortunately Facebook cannot see the og: and cannot build a preview.
Using the Facebook debugger Sharing Debugger - Meta for Developers
I get an error 403 : This response code could be due to a robots.txt block. Please allowlist facebookexternalhit on your sites robots.txt config to utilize Facebook scraping
I am using Yoast and have even modified my robots.tx but to no avail. Is this being blocked by hosting ??
Opengraphs tags doesn’t works properly due to this security system:

Use Cloudflare and then you won’t have problems with our security protection because the traffic coming through CF is not subject to protection (hosting trusts CF).
