You are seeing this page because our server has been equipped with Anubis, a cutting-edge security system designed to protect us against the increasingly sophisticated threat of AI-powered website scrapers. While it may seem counterintuitive, this measure is necessary to prevent legitimate users from being thwarted by malicious actors.
Anubis employs a novel approach inspired by Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme aimed at reducing email spam. By requiring a brief computational task, Anubis aims to create an economic barrier that discourages large-scale website scraping operations. At the individual level, the added load is negligible; however, when applied en masse, it significantly increases the cost of such activities.
The primary goal of Anubis is not to defeat AI-powered scrapers outright but rather to provide a temporary workaround until more effective countermeasures can be developed. By enabling users to bypass the challenge page without compromising their security, we can buy time to refine our defenses and develop targeted solutions that address the evolving threat landscape.
However, Anubis also has some limitations. It requires the use of modern JavaScript features, which plugins like JShelter may disable. To access this page, you will need to enable JavaScript and disable any such plugins for our domain. Unfortunately, this is a necessary concession due to the rapidly changing nature of website hosting and the social contract between hosts and users.
It's worth noting that an all-JS solution is still in development. As we continue to navigate this complex landscape, your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated. By working together, we can create a safer online environment for everyone.
