In plain words

An experimental AntiBot, AntiCrawl reverse proxy for the web is a tool designed to protect websites from automated bots and web crawlers.

  • Stop AI scrapers from hammering your self-hosted blog (using porn)Dec 2025 · github.com · ▲373

    Alright so if you run a self-hosted blog, you've probably noticed AI companies scraping it for training data. And not just a little (RIP to your server bill). There isn't much you can do about it without cloudflare. These companies ignore robots.txt, and you're competing with teams with more resources than you. It's you vs the MJs of programming, you're not going to win. But there is a solution. Now I'm not going to say it's a great solution...but a solution is a solution. If your website contains content that will trigger their scraper's safeguards, it will get dropped from their data…

    Hello HN, I’m Kamil. The past months have been filled with news about ChatGPT, Bard, etc. Thankfully, there are some heroic attempts to bring that power to the users. I wanted to contribute to that effort with my side project, an extension for Chrome: it makes searching the history by meaning – instead of the exact words – possible. This is only a proof of concept, building on the excellent transformers.js[0], and running entirely in the browser. My goal here is to explore the possibilities unlocked by a client-side AI. I would love to have your feedback, to know which direction that project…

    Cloakbits - Headless web scraping with bypass for anti-bot WAFs2021 · ▲8

    There is a growing number of companies offering anti-bot protection SaaS to protect websites from scraping by automated bots based on Puppeteer/Selenium. Most of them rely on browser properties such as headers, javascript properties (window., navigator.), behavior analysis, to build device/user fingerprints and match it against a database of "whitelisted" fingerprints (typical user behavior/settings/device props etc). For the past few months, together with two other devs I have worked on a customized Puppeteer/Playwright scraping backend. It's essentially a drop-in…
