Real human hit once with disguised ua is fine, but I’ve seem a few million clearly batch crawl request within a few minutes hitting my potato server from thousands of IP addresses, and they do it every four weeks almost at same hours. cloudflare doesn’t help much if at all, I can do proof of work but it creates problems for real human, I can rewrite in rust with some sophisticated cache but i don’t want to.

Anyway I’m not expecting a solution. Just say this sux.
