Anubis is a web proxy that protects upstream resources from scraper bots
|
|
by using a short hash-based proof-of-work challenge. It "weighs the soul of
|
|
your connection" to determine if you're a legitimate user or an automated bot.
|
|
|
|
Anubis serves as a protective layer for websites that are being aggressively
|
|
scraped by AI bots and other automated systems that don't respect robots.txt
|
|
standards. It provides an alternative to services like Cloudflare when those
|
|
options aren't available or desired.
|
|
|
|
The proof-of-work system requires clients to solve a computational challenge
|
|
before accessing protected content, effectively deterring most automated
|
|
scrapers while allowing legitimate users through with minimal disruption.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that Anubis may cause problems for accessibility of
|
|
protected websites, potentially confusing screen readers for blind users,
|
|
or other problems for assisted interaction. Please consider carefully.
