Tencent Cloud's abuse team reached out to me recently and asked for this rule to be removed. Prior attempts to reach out to them to report abusive traffic have failed, thus leading to this IP space block as a last resort to try and maintain uptime for systems administrators. Unfortunately, it's difficult for Tencent's abuse team to take action if there is a blanket block like this. Let's see if this doesn't cause too much grief.

Overview
Anubis is a Web AI Firewall Utility that weighs the soul of your connection using one or more challenges in order to protect upstream resources from scraper bots.
This program is designed to help protect the small internet from the endless storm of requests that flood in from AI companies. Anubis is as lightweight as possible to ensure that everyone can afford to protect the communities closest to them.
Anubis is a bit of a nuclear response. This will result in your website being blocked from smaller scrapers and may inhibit "good bots" like the Internet Archive. You can configure bot policy definitions to explicitly allowlist them and we are working on a curated set of "known good" bots to allow for a compromise between discoverability and uptime.
In most cases, you should not need this and can probably get by using Cloudflare to protect a given origin. However, for circumstances where you can't or won't use Cloudflare, Anubis is there for you.
If you want to try this out, visit the Anubis documentation site at anubis.techaro.lol.
