You might want to take a look at CrowdSec if you don't already know it.
Thanks. Makes sense that things roughly along those lines already exist, of course. CrowdSec's pricing, which apparently start at 900$/months, seem forbiddingly expensive for most small-to-medium projects, though. Do you or does anyone else know a similar solution for small or even nonexistent budgets? (Personally I'm not running any servers or projects right now, but may do so in the future.)
There are many continuously updated IP blacklists on GitHub. Personally I have an automation that sources 10+ of such lists and blocks all IPs that appear on like 3 or more of them. I'm not sure there are any blacklists specific to "AI", but as far as I know, most of them already included particularly annoying scrapers before the whole GPT craze.
Holy shit, those prices. Like, I wouldn’t be able to afford any package at even 10% the going rate.
Anything available for the lone operator running a handful of Internet-addressable servers behind a single symmetrical SOHO connection? As in, anything for the other 95% of us that don’t have literal mountains of cash to burn?
They do seem to have a free tier of sorts. I don't use them personally, I only know of their existence and I've been meaning to give them a try. Seeing the pricing just now though, I might not even bother, unless the free tier is worth anything.
