I need new methods to protect bots from faucets. Some of the old methods no longer work , so I need fresh methods that work for you. If you don't want to share your method with too many people , PM me please , I may give a tip if the method works really well.
I had serious problems with bots too, they ate me hundreds-thousands of satoshis daily.
I let them to do that, and analyzed their behaviors..
And i found few solutions:
- 1) if your webserver using .htaccess file, try to add ALL Russian IP address ranges to blocklist into .htaccess file - i can show you how, if you want.
- 2) #1 is not very good solution (losing possible fair play users) , i started to combine lots of methods of captcha. and i realized , that re-captcha combo with anti bot links is not good, but Keycaptcha (free) + re-captcha is strong enough and bots are not eating my satoshis
also you can assign your webserver to cloudflare, change nameservers of your web provider to cloudflare and use reverse proxy in faucets.
but advice #2 is good enough to prevent the bots
i hope it helps
