This may sound like a weird thing to do, but I realised that many crawlers and bots are somehow still able to get past my Anubis. I presume they have gotten smarter and are capable of using JavaScript.

To counter this, I want to link my Anubis to an Iocane setup such that:

Internet > nginx reverse proxy > Anubis > Iocane > my site/app

My hope is that two different filtering mechanisms (one of which will actively poison and waste the bot's resourced) will protect my system better.

I thought I'd ask before actually trying out something like this.

Scriptability has been a thing since 2.2.0, released on 2025-06-16, but the built-in script appeared in 3.0 (2025-11-14).
