"Making sure you're not a bot!" - Bot blocking

[HookedBehemoth]

Lately this website has seen an influx of automated requests that make my life harder than it needs to be.
To act against these I've now enabled Cerberus.

If you have any issues using this site now, please let me know here or via admin (at) boxcat.site.
The blocking is lax. Cached pages are returned without UA validation.

This was once meant to be a lightweight alternative frontend and I guess some users are now blocked because they can't or won't enable javascript for this.
Keep in mind that you can always self-host neuters on a cheap VPS building from source, using the action builds or using a docker image.

@HookedBehemoth anubis now works without javascript, so it may be a more suitable alternative?

Hello, I've sent a message to your email address almost 3 days ago, and I've not received a response, so I will paste it here:

Greetings,

I was trying to use your lightweight frontend of Reuters in my primary
web browser Pale Moon (versioned 33.9.1 in Windows 11 x64), but it
couldn't get past the anti-scraper challenge your Cerberus puts up.
According to the developer of Cerberus this issue has been fixed in
0.4.5, and looking at the source code of your Cerberus challenge's HTML
it seems your website is using 0.4.3.

Please upgrade your Cerberus to the latest version, in order to improve
compatibility with other browsers. Your project is very helpful for
people trying to avoid the JavaScript bloat Reuters puts out that is
slowing down our browsers.

Thank you.
