Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests using proof-of-work to stop AI crawlers - TecharoHQ/anubis

I just started using this myself, seems pretty great so far!

Clearly doesn’t stop all AI crawlers, but a significantly large chunk of them.

      If your browser doesn’t have a Mozilla user agent (I.e. like chrome or Firefox) it will pass directly. Most AI crawlers use these user agents to pretend to be human users

        What I’m thinking about is more that in Linux, it’s common to access URLs directly from the terminal for various purposes, instead of using a browser.

          If you’re talking about something like curl, that also uses its own User agent unless asked to impersonate some other UA. If not, then maybe I can’t help.
