Anubis + BadBotBlocker + fail2ban was sufficient to stop almost ALL scraping and stupid bots. I added some rate limits as well that stopped some of the more niche bots.
Of course, I'd be surprised if notabug didn't implement all this. I'm sure they're far more savvy than noobs like to to protect their site.
I'm just afraid that they might be pushed into using Cloudflare or other such centralised services.
Where did you implement ? How did you add rate limits ? And you said "almost all", who are those you can't block ? Of course, you share if you want to. I don't mind. Thanks.
