Proof of Work (PoW)

Proof of Work (PoW) option for WWW

We are pleased to introduce a new option that helps protect websites against automated access.

When enabled, the user’s device must perform a small computational task. This operation usually takes a fraction of a second for a regular user but significantly hinders large-scale automated activities. Verification is performed once per day and requires cookies to be enabled in the client’s browser.

The PoW option supports three configuration states:

off - disabled (the protection will not be active for the given domain)
on (default) - enabled only during an attack (PoW will be automatically activated when an attack is detected)
always - always enabled (verification occurs on the first visit to the website)

Command syntax for devil:
devil www options <DOMAIN> pow <on|always|off>

The setting can also be managed from the DevilWEB panel:
WWW websites → Manage → Details for the selected domain → set the Proof of Work option → Save changes.

It is also possible to customize the appearance of the verification page by creating the following files:

~/domains/<DOMAIN>/errors/pow-pensive.webp - displayed while the user is being verified
~/domains/<DOMAIN>/errors/pow-happy.webp - displayed after successful verification
~/domains/<DOMAIN>/errors/pow-reject.webp - displayed when access is denied
~/domains/<DOMAIN>/errors/pow.css - CSS file used to control the appearance of the page

More information about how the PoW option works can be found in the documentation: https://docs.serv00.com/PoW/

This feature was made possible thanks to donations. If you'd like to see more like this or just support serv00, consider making a donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/serv00

admin Hello, Mr. Administrator. How are you doing? I think it's excellent that you've been able to give everyone the option to disable or not the Anubis anti-bot protection from the panel.
Very soon, I'll add a 100x100 template below the serv00 site called "frontbadge", like a button that users can click on to make a donation, as I had promised before. And the option you've put in place to disable it or not is really good, because otherwise, you know? It was complicated, especially with Cloudflare.
Maybe very soon I'll decide and activate Anubis completely.

You can also use it as a payment method https://boosty.to/ It is very good

jazminrocio Thank you. We will think about more payments methods.

MichaelJacksum For now it is only possible to on/off the protection. If there is a demand for this, we will consider a whitelist.

Thanks for adding the setting!

Is there also a method to whitelist a path from it, or does it just get disabled for the entire website?
