As you're reading this, it's likely that you've encountered a familiar frustration: being blocked by an anti-bot protection system designed to safeguard websites from AI-powered scrapers. The administrator of this website has taken proactive steps to mitigate the issue, employing a tool called Anubis to protect their server from these malicious actors.

Anubis is a Proof-of-Work scheme inspired by Hashcash, a proposed solution aimed at reducing email spam. While it may seem counterintuitive, Anubis's design strikes a balance between individual and mass-scale usage. At small scales, the additional load is negligible, but when faced with large-scale scraping operations, Anubis adds significant expense, making such activities much more costly.

Behind Anubis lies a clever hack: its primary purpose is to serve as a placeholder solution, allowing developers to allocate more time and resources towards fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers. By doing so, the challenge-proof of work page can be presented only to users who are less likely to be legitimate, thereby reducing the burden on human moderators.

However, Anubis comes with some caveats. It requires the use of modern JavaScript features, which certain plugins like JShelter might disable. To overcome this hurdle, visitors must enable JavaScript for this website. Unfortunately, a no-JS solution is still in development stages, making it an interim measure until more robust alternatives are available.

As you navigate through this site, keep in mind that Anubis version 1.20.0 is currently in use. This version relies on modern JavaScript features to function properly. For the best experience, please disable any plugins like JShelter or similar extensions before proceeding. By doing so, you'll help ensure that legitimate users can access our content without interruption.
