XF Bot Guard 1.4.1

I have been so impressed by the constant support and updates that this developer has provided. I can’t believe that this add-on is free.

An exceptionally useful and versatile plug-in. It annoys me that we need defences like this against unsolicited/malicious AI bot scraping etc, but I’m very pleased folk will go so far to build them. I’m still finding my way around some of the fine details, but the results are clear. It works!

Excellent add-on and an equally excellent developer behind it.

We run a large and very busy XenForo community and have been dealing with significant bot and scraper activity. XF Bot Guard has made a noticeable difference and gives us far better visibility and control over automated traffic.

We recently encountered a rather unusual issue involving verified search crawlers and our hosting environment. Anthony took the time to investigate it in detail, worked through the logs with us, identified what was happening, and quickly implemented an improvement in version 1.4.1.

That level of support is particularly impressive considering that XF Bot Guard is currently a free add-on.

Highly recommended for any XenForo administrator dealing with bots, scrapers or abusive automated traffic. I’m also very much looking forward to the upcoming Pro version.

Awesome add-on and work. I found it when the bot situation got out of hand with over 2000 concurrent bot sessions. It really helped me getting my server stable again.

A truly useful and essential add-on. Definitely a must-have for any forum, thanks to how practical and effective it is.

Another basic feature that should be included by default in the XenForo core... Thank you very much zeeb0t for this magnificent add-on!

Great addon to shield your forum against (AI) bots. Developer reacts quickly to requests and questions.

An excellent add-on and perhaps even a must-have. The developer responds immediately to questions or requests and helps resolve issues! Exemplary! You have my respect! I look forward to further developments.

This guy bots. Seriously useful addon that has helped keep our forum running with the recent bot infestation.

We'd be completely overwhelmed by bots without this add-on. An absolutely essential tool for bot management that gets better with every update.

This addon shows up just in time. I was already looking for something like this. Superb! Working out of the box and also even free.
Great job, thank you *very* much!

Excellent add-on that works right out of the box and is also free, which makes it even more special and much appreciated.

If you are running a XenForo forum and dealing with the current plague of AI crawlers, scrapers, and aggressive bots, you need to install XF Bot Guard immediately. My server resources were getting hammered and CPU usage was going through the roof from fake browser traffic and automated scraping. Since installing this add-on, the drop in server load has been phenomenal.

Worked right off the bat! I was floundering in bots with 99% CPU usage, and boom.. back between 13 and 24% after installing this. Thank you!

This addon was a lifesaver, exactly what I needed to help combat the swarm of bot traffic on my forum.

dedicated support for free, others would charge, huge shoutout to you and thanks that youre providing to this community

So, this addon comes at a time when everyone around here has been dealing with insane traffic being caused by AI bots and scrapers. This one allows you to have a lot of control over their behaviour without relying on external service like Cloudflare. Developer has been actively working on this one adding new functionality and helping users with issues. I would not be surprised if this addon becomes an essential requirement for any XF install especially for users who do not want to spend a lot of time blocking bot farms manually.

This is a fairly comprehensive tool to help battle the recent attacks from bots that don't respect the rules of the forum. It has a lot of features, and the author is not only responsive to suggestions - but very responsive in general. For the amazing price of $0, it does so much. It tamed the out of control bots that were causing my sql server to crash. A must have for Xenforo users, IMO!

High load from botnet attacks seem more common recently. Developer is responsive to issues and different use cases.

My small community started getting hammered by bots visiting areas they weren't supposed to be. My admin panel was full of errors due to these bots. Since installing this addon, I've had zero issues and my site is stable again.
