This tool looks really good. It seems like soon ASN level bot-curbing will become common.


It is really good for blocking whole Chinese & LLM scraper ASNs!


why u have to mention Chinese?


Anyone who has operated a public webserver knows that the vast majority of the rabid, robots.txt ignoring hyperscrapers are from Chinese autonomous systems


cidr-report.org has been around for over 20 years, curious why you think this site now will make a difference with blocking bots?


Most people don't know about it; in fact most of the IP geolocation providers pull their data from cidr-report.org or thyme.apnic.net.


I'm not shocked. ASN blocking is well-known among people who I can easily called experts (veterans which can set up a reasonable-ish firewall from base principles) and ASN control is exposed in major cloud firewalls, but younger people (except those who were trained with deep networking skills) don't really understand ASNs for some reason.
