Under attack from ByteSpider bots from Singapore
Hi, I have a small Ghost blog at https://ghost-tech.up.railway.app/ that's serving the blog for https://techinterview.coach/blog (through a Netlify redirect).
I am under attack from a ByteSpider crawler from Singapore, that's causing my Cloudinary usage (and bills) to spike. I am trying to block them. So far:
- I have put https://techinterview.coach/ behind Cloudflare, but I think bots are hitting the railway.app domain directly so I am not sure this will help.
- I've modified the https://ghost-tech.up.railway.app/robots.txt to disallow crawling.
Can I do anything else? Is there a way to put the railway app domain itself behind CloudFlare?
Thanks,
Andrea
