Main author of Anubis here. Have CloudFlare return a HTTP 200 response instead of a rejection at non-200. That makes the bots stop hammering until they get a 200 response.

If you see this, something isn't working with your main site: https://anubis.techaro.lol/
I've also gotten good results just dropping the connection if it hits the application layer, and you can't get CloudFlare to return the desired behavior first.

Not ideal, but it seems to work against primitive bots.
