Sadly about the only thing that reliably helps against malicious crawlers is Anubis
https://anubis.techaro.lol/
That URL is telling me "Invalid response". Am I a bot?
I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
Now you know why your mom spent so much time with the Amiga

If you have JShelter installed, it breaks the proof of work from anubis
Probably.
You're using a VPN, right?
Im not and it gave an invalid response. I am just chilling on my home wifi.
Nope. Just using Vivaldi on my Android device.

I don't really like this approach, not just because I was flagged as a bot, but because I don't really like captchas. I swear I'm not a bot guys!
