    It’ll block elinks/lynx users or a real person using curl. But it’ll also block any bot that doesn’t use a browser, which accounts for most of the volume.

    nuh uh smuglord

    Anubis has a new javascriptless metarefresh which uses HTML to refresh the page after a few seconds. This is a much better solution than the computational proof of work, in my opinion. This line from the docs though is perplexing:

    yuh uh!

    (I’m just fucking around now I’m too tired lol, it’s 10 pm. But it does work on lynx!!!)

    Just want to reiterate, I understand the concerns with Anubis, it’s just that FSF makes me go maddened

      1. The Anubis homepage uses the new meta-refresh strategy which should work on lynx since its doesn’t use JavaScript.
      2. I doubt you even saw an Anubis challenge. Anubis normally configured by User-Agent. IDK what lynx’s User-Agent is but I bet Anubis wasn’t configured to challenge it.
