Good to see an alternative to Anubis - with a reduced or configurable legitimate user impact

https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away/

This tool started as a way to replace Anubis as it was not found as featureful as desired, and the impact was too high.

go-away may not be as straight to configure as Anubis but this was chosen to reduce impact on legitimate users, and offers many more options to dynamically target new waves.

Definitely! The author is super friendly in IRC too (and Xe, the anubis author, is there as well lol)

Haha thanks. From what I've figured out, this it's Lemmy and HN that brought the traffic. I can't seem to upload an image of the graph though :(
