I also used CrowdSec for almost a year, but as AI scrapers became more aggressive, CrowdSec alone wasn’t enough. The scrapers used distributed IP ranges and spoofed user agents, making them hard to detect and costing my Forgejo instance a lot in expensive routes. I tried custom CrowdSec rules but hit its limits.

Then I discovered Anubis. It’s been an excellent complement to CrowdSec — I now run both. In my experience they work very well together, so the question isn’t “A or B?” but rather “How can I combine them, if needed?”
