You are seeing this message because the administrator of this website has taken steps to protect it against the threat of AI-powered scrapers. Anubis, a security measure designed to safeguard our server from aggressive web scraping, is at work.
While Anubis may seem like an inconvenience, its purpose is twofold. On one hand, it serves as a deterrent against large-scale scraper operations, making it more expensive for malicious actors to scrape websites repeatedly. On the other hand, it provides a temporary solution that allows us to gather intelligence on headless browsers and identify potential security threats.
At its core, Anubis is based on a Proof-of-Work scheme inspired by Hashcash, a proposal designed to reduce email spam. While this method may seem like a hack, its primary goal is to provide a compromise solution that allows us to gather essential information while minimizing the impact on legitimate users.
However, there's a catch: Anubis requires modern JavaScript features, which plugins like JShelter disable. To overcome this challenge, you'll need to enable JavaScript for our website. Unfortunately, a no-JS solution is still in development, so we ask that you consider disabling any plugins that interfere with the necessary JavaScript features.
The current state of web hosting has shifted significantly with the rise of AI-powered scraping. The social contract around how websites are hosted and accessed has changed, making it essential to take proactive measures like Anubis to protect our online community. By working together, we can create a safer and more secure online environment for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We appreciate your patience as we work towards a more efficient solution that balances security with user experience.
