Manual workaround
For Chromium based browser

• Visit website and select any manga in browser -> press F12 -> select Network tab
• In the Name section, select the first one -> see Headers tab and search for cookie and user-agent, copy all of it
• In FMD2, go to Options -> Websites -> Advanced -> {Website Name}, change Enabled option to True, paste the cookie and user-agent from browser

Troubleshooting
If you see the cookies disappear in FMD2, try using a VPN and try multiple different servers.
If that also doesn’t work, you’ll just have to wait for the site to lower its protection.
