I need some help: I'm self-hosting the documentation to a scientific software package https://rebound.hanno-rein.de. This is for a small audience and it's a small, static website. Yet, crawlers have recently been hammering my server with stupid requests that make it very slow for normal users. The requests come from residential/VPN IP ranges and usually only include one request per IP. I want to block them, or slow them down. But I don't know how. 1/N

@hannorein@mastodon.social sorry to reply without any first hand knowledge. I stumbled upon this which seemed to me a little off the beaten path and simple enough for a quick implementation : https://hhmx.de/@nick/2219232 I hope you find something that works. Good luck.
