This is a little bit of a wall of text but I hope it will be a nice sample for such a setup.

    Isn’t the use of different random IP per request by bots a stronger arguments in favor of the default Anubis behavior? This would mean a lot of POW to be done by the bots.

    The deep link accesses is worrying indeed and Anubis is not a silver bullet.

    I also agree with the use of a known abusive IP database.

      The bots don’t care about Anubis, though. Yes, their request will take a bit longer, but since each request is coming from a different device, they don’t care. They’ll just do the pow in parallel. And in the meantime you’re annoying every actual human visiting your site.
