XF 2.3 How do I remove bots from visitor count

[Pepe2012]

One of my sites shows 100 registered users and 12,000 guests. There is no way I have that many guests.

I found this add-on in the Resource manager that does that.

Well, you have. These are scrapers, visiting your forum via resident proxies to grab the content to train AI models. "Known Bots" will not recognize them. They are considered guests b/c they are not registered users, so the number displayed is correct. There are various threads about the topic here in the forums, the most prominent one is named "crazy amount of guests".
