XF 2 Need help with stopping bots/spammers

Right now we have over 300 "guests" viewing our site. I'd like to block the bad bots and the spammers trying to register, but I'm not sure sure where to start. If someone can give me a quote that would be great.
 
Assume you have a robots.txt? Either way it's the ones that ignore that are that tend to be the problem. Have you noticed any in particular that are hogging. Common ones are bytedance and bytespider. Someone on here helped me block those in HT access and the numbers dropped significantly after that.

With spammers it's more a case of posting than being guests. Cloudflare Turnstile is a good option for that. IE preventing them registering

Yes i have robots.txt. I'm not sure tbh

I installed Cloudfare Turnstile and still the same @rambler.ru spammers are signing up. I've blocked their email but it still creates an account which is annoying
