"If the client has a User-Agent that does not contain "Mozilla", the client is allowed through."

So if an LLM bot can identity the Anubis Pow check, it can just update its user agent and it passes without needing to complete the pow?

Wouldn't Anubis notice that the an ip didn't finish pow check disconnected, and returned with different useragent?

So they can rotate IP too?

There is a config file that lets you customize the rules Anubis uses for allowing, challenging, or denying incoming requests. https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/policies
