Some thoughts on how useful Anubis really is. Combined with comments I read elsewhere about scrapers starting to solve the challenges, I’m afraid Anubis will be outdated soon and we need something else.

      Congrats on doing it the way the website owner wants! You’re now into the content, and you had to waste seconds of processing power to do so (effectively being throttled by the owner), so everyone is happy. You can’t overload the site, but you can still get there after a short wait.

      Anubis has worked if that’s happening. The point is to make it computationally expensive to access a webpage, because that’s a natural rate limiter. It kinda sounds like it needs to be made more computationally expensive, however.
