FREE
Antibot script (GNU GPL v3) with local checks and local filtering rules is provided for free without limitations or additional conditions. Without part of the cloud functionality in the admin panel.
By default, it does not protect the website from behavioral (browser) bots.
No personal support - community help only (forums, Telegram groups).
You create local filtering rules yourself by country, city, time zone, PTR, ASNum, ASName, User-Agent, browser language, subnets or individual IPv4 and IPv6, referrer, and other parameters.
How does Antibot Cloud work?
Allow access
Real users
Real users pass an automatic check and reach the website in 1-3 seconds. Most visitors are verified automatically without any actions. If the system detects a visitor as suspicious, they will need to confirm they are not a robot - press a button or pass a quick CAPTCHA.
A visitor is checked once. After that, as long as cookies are saved and User-Agent or IP do not change (this usually happens rarely), Antibot will not show a repeated check.
Search engine bots
Search engine crawler bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, Yandexbot, etc.) get access without extra checks and do not "see" the Antibot script in action. Their authenticity is verified using the "IP-PTR-IP" scheme - fake "search bots" will fail the check and be blocked.
Good bots
You can allow the bots you need in the rules - you decide who to let through and who to block. Examples of useful bots: PageSpeed Insights/Lighthouse, link preview bots (Telegram, Facebook, X) and other social networks, RSS/Feed readers...
Custom rules
To filter traffic, you can set custom rules - allow or deny access by country and city, time zone, PTR, ASNum/ASName, User-Agent, browser language, IP, referrer, and other fingerprint parameters.
Block access
Spam
Spam bots automatically find contact forms, comments, forums, registrations, and other input fields to массово send ads, phishing and malicious links. This clogs databases and email, damages domain reputation, worsens content quality, and increases website load.
Hacking attempts
Hacker bots automatically scan a website for vulnerabilities, look for admin panels and common paths, brute-force passwords, and try to exploit XSS, SQL injections, file uploads, and other weak spots. The consequences include malicious code and redirect injections, page replacement, hidden SEO spam, data leaks, ranking drops, and blacklisting. Antibot blocks such attacks at the входе, blocks suspicious requests, and reduces the risk of hacking.
Scraping
Scraping is the automated collection and copying of website content using bots. Doorways and proxy sites create duplicate pages, which reduces content uniqueness in search and adds extra server load. Besides copying text and images, scrapers often extract catalog data - prices, product pages, links, contacts, email, and other public information - to use it on third-party resources or for mailings.
Behavioral bots and antidetect browsers
Behavioral bots disguise themselves as regular visitors and imitate "real" actions on the website - page views, scrolling, clicks, and navigation. They often use antidetect browsers and proxy/VPN, and spoof browser fingerprints to bypass simple filters. As a result, analytics get distorted, CTR and conversion degrade, ad budgets are wasted (click fraud), bounce rate grows, and behavioral factors get worse.
