    This is not how email works, though.

    That site doesn't seem to support pages loading either.

    edit: I feel their pain - I've spent the past week fighting AI scrapers on multiple sites hitting routes that somehow bypass Cloudflare's cache. Thousands of requests per minute, often to URLs that have never even existed. Baidu and OpenAI, I'm looking at you.

      Are they hitting non-existent pages? I had ip addresses scanning my personal server including hitting pages that don't exist. I had fail2ban running already so I just turned on the nginx filters (and had to modify the regexs a bit to get them working). I turned on the recididiv jail too. It's been working great.

      My n100 minipc can serve over 20k requests per second with nginx (well, it could, if not for the gigabit NIC limiting it). Actually IIRC it can (again, modulo uplink) do more like 40k rps for 404 or 304s.

      There is currently some AI scraper that uses residential IP addresses and a variety of techniques to conceal itself that likes downloading Swagger generated docs over… and over… and over.

      Plus hitting the endpoints for authentication that return 403 over and over.

      IP blocking Asia took my abusive scans down 95%.

      I also do not have a robots.txt so google doesnt index.

      Got some scanners who left a message how to index or dei dex, but was like 3 lines total in my log (thats not abusive).

      But yeah, blocking the whole of Asia stopped soooo much of the net-shit.

      Why are "thousands" of requests noticable in any way? Webservers are so powerful nowadays.

      Oh you're so deterministic.
