thanks for reading please help :)

Make a hard captcha on your faucets. I'm forget the name of that captcha, you can go to micro earnings section here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0. You can get many information about it.

be sure to use recaptcha for your faucet site, AFAIK bots can't answer recaptcha's captcha so they can't abuse your faucet in that way. having antibot script can help you in a way or another but captcha mostly will block those bots

- CDN to stop ddos attack.
- Minimum time on site


Don't use image captcha, that one is very easy to crack. I could personally make a bot that does that, but faucet profits is not worth the effort.

The text captcha is crackable, but more challenging.

Thanks for your answers is my proxy/ vpn block working ok?

I'll change my captcha site when I get home :)

Nice to see you have antibot links as well as vpn/proxy block, i will suggest you to also block tor browser access as well as better have funcaptcha rather than solve media as solve media captchas are hard to read. As well as funcaptcha seem more secure, i have also tried it in past which gives good result. Also try to actively check any unusual (bots) activity daily and limit the total payout per hour/day from your faucetbox account.
