This is true. I had some bad actors from the ComCast Network at one point. And unfortunately also valid human users of some of my "things". So I opted not to block the ComCast ASN at that point.

Exactly. We've all been down this rabbit hole, collectively, and that's why Anubis has taken off. It works shockingly well.

I was planning on building a Caddy module for Anubis actually. Is anyone else interested in this?

I would be interested to hear of any other solutions that guarantee to either identity or block non-Human traffic. In the "small web" and self-hosting, we typically don't really want Crawlers, and other similar software hitting our services, because often the software is either buggy in the first place (Example: Runaway Claude Bot) or you don't want your sites indexed by them in the first place.
