After deploying Anubis bot traffic is drastically reduced but I still see a lot of requests from User-Agents that claim to be 'Opera' like so: "Opera/9.90.(Windows NT 6.0; mt-MT) Presto/2.9.173 Version/10.00" "Opera/8.46.(X11; Linux i686; fo-FO) Presto/2.9.161 Version/11.00" Add 'Opera' to the generic-browser rule to also challenge them.

Anubis
Anubis weighs the soul of your connection using a sha256 proof-of-work challenge in order to protect upstream resources from scraper bots.
Installing and using this will likely result in your website not being indexed by some search engines. This is considered a feature of Anubis, not a bug.
This is a bit of a nuclear response, but AI scraper bots scraping so aggressively have forced my hand. I hate that I have to do this, but this is what we get for the modern Internet because bots don't conform to standards like robots.txt, even when they claim to.
In most cases, you should not need this and can probably get by using Cloudflare to protect a given origin. However, for circumstances where you can't or won't use Cloudflare, Anubis is there for you.
