Hello! I encountered a bot invasion on the site. Bots are very undesirable, as they create additional load on the site server. Is there a bot protection for ossclass?

@alex7070
Try following:
- invisible recaptcha or standard recaptcha
- antispam plugin (https://osclasspoint.com/osclass-plugins/protection-and-spam/anti-spam-and-bot-protection-osclass-plugin-i51)
- cloudflare
- htaccess block specific countries

For wordpress there is a special plugin to deal with bots. It would be nice if there was a similar one for osclass.

Hi,
I use recaptcha 3 widthout any plugin and I had not spam anymore.

index_v3.html is very easy example.

Hi! I similarly use captcha version 3 and it protects well from spam. But this does not protect against a simple invasion of bots that can overload the site server.

Its just front end application.
Spam bot with javascript disabled will pass it with no problem. (Or bot that just send post request to form)

Cloudflare can help with such attacks, but usually someone need to pay for such attack to overload server...

this invasion of bots was 1 day and gone. Attendance increased by 150 visitors. Nothing terrible happened, but it is desirable to have bot protection. For my wordpress site, bot protection helps a lot.
