Recently experiencing a dead slow OpenWrt wiki page...
Like even a simple page (no database queries) takes time to show up. Have a look at this screenshot:
Is this another DDoS attack on wiki server?

Since we can't do aggressive geo blocking or walling behind login. I can only think of CAPTCHA/JS challenge or integrating Cloudflare bot management (or AWS WAF bot control). Anyways, hope someone comes up with a better solution.

https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis might be an option to slow down these bots. I noticed a few websites that started using it recently. I think the most recent one I saw was the Linux kernel mailing list archive (or perhaps it was their git web interface).
yes, it looks really promising Cloudflare alternative.
