Bytespider has found me help

Bytespider has found me :/
If it is self hosted, how can I kick this radioactive spider in it's rear end?
Also- How did it find me in the first place? I'm pretty sure no other website linked to me...

Code: Select all

What HTTP server software are you using? If it's Apache or NGINX, you should be able to just block its user agent. If you go through Cloudflare, you can also block in Cloudflare before it even reaches your server.

Here's the article for Apache I found that gave me the idea to block, though I use NGINX so I couldn't use the instructions directly.
