I've read about Anubis, cool project! Unfortunately, as pointed out in the comments, requires your site's visitors to have Javascript™ enabled. This is totally fine for sites that require Javascript™ anyway to enhance the user experience, but not so great for static sites and such that require no JS at all.

I built my own solution that effectively blocks these "Bad Bots" at the network level. I effectively block the entirety of several large "Big Tech / Big LLM" networks entirely at the ASN (BGP) by utilizing MaxMind's database and a custom WAF and Reverse Proxy I put together.

Do you have a link to your own solution?

Not yet unfortunately. But if you're interested, please reach out! I currently run it in a 3-region GeoDNS setup with my self-hosted infra.
