caddy-anubis
caddy-anubis is a plugin that loads anubis for requests in order to slow down AI and Scraper traffic from destroying infrastucture.
I consider this current implementation more of a Proof-of-Concept. I am not sure how stable or well it works. This is my first Caddy plugin.
One major issue is the very first request after a Caddy start or restart, takes like 5 seconds till anubis kicks in. All subsequent requests, especially after clearing cookies, are near instant.
Current usage
Just add an anubis to your caddyfile in the block you want the protection. currently I have not seen it work properly inside a route or handler block. But it works outside of those.
There is an optional target field you can set if you want to force the redirect elsewhere. It does a 302 redirect.
Example (also check the caddyfile in this repo, it is used for testing):
:80 {
anubis
# or
anubis {
target https://qwant.com
}
}
