My instance gets pillaged once a day for 20 minutes by what I think is a scraper for an LLM.

The scraper grabs every post and profile page and the load on the server triggers alerts but the site stays usable.

I haven't been able to put a stop to it as the requests come from 1500+ IP addresses, with different user agents.

    I have no idea. I spot check 20 or so IP addresses and they are all from different AS networks. Truly diverse botnet. Feel powerless.

    Run your access logs through something that will report the ASN for the client IPs. Goaccess would be my recommendation. It will require access to a GeoIP database which you can get from Maxmind by signing up for a free API key, or download them directly from P3TERX/GeoLite.mmdb on Github. We have identified a number of bot networks this way. Happy to help further if you'd like a hand 👍
