I wonder if you can have a chain of "invisible" links on your site that a normal person wouldn't see or click. The links can go page A -> page B -> page C, where a request for C = instant IP ban.

I self host and I have something like this but more obvious: i wrote a web service that talks to my mikrotik via API and add the IP of the requester to the block list with a 30 day timeout (configurable ofc). It hostname is "bot-ban-me.myexamplesite.com" and it is like a normal site in my reverse proxy. So when I request a cert this hostname is in the cert, and in the first few minutes i can catch lots of bad apples. I do not expect anyone to ever type this. I do not mention the address or anything anywhere, so the only way to land there is to watch the CT logs.
