AI scraperbots keep hammering us. We blocked most datacenters we could identify, but residential proxies just keep going and are really hard to block. We are seeing 7000-8000 concurrent connections. We have enough resources and network bandwidth to handle the requests/data, but given how aggressive these bots new connection setup is really slow or even times out. Tomorrow we will try to put a nginx tls terminator in front of httpd which hopefully helps handling more concurrent connections.
