I feel like a simple rate limit set to what your server can handle without issues is a better solution. Or combine it with Anubis at least.
This seems to be exactly the content of the post: rate limit + Anubis.
The main point is more about "How to setup Anubis" rather than "Should we use Anubis" as I documented how I did my setup so I will not forget and at the same time sharing the resource. I am also using fail2ban but I didn't feel a post about how to set ip up would be as useful as documentation and guides seems already there.
Makes sense! Rate limits are important IMO and most sites don't seem to have them.
