How I Block All 26M of Your Curl Requests

Those bots would be really naive not to use curl-impersonate. I basically use it for any request I make even if I don’t expect to be blocked because why wouldn’t I.

I heard about curl-impersonate yesterday when I was hitting a CF page. Did something else to completely bypass it, which has been successful, but should try this.

A lot of the bots are compromised servers (eg hacked Wordpress sites), with limited control over what the TLS fingerprints look like.
