Codeberg@Suiseiseki Anubis is the option that saved us a lot of work over the past months. We are not happy about it being open core or using GitHub sponsors, but we acknowledge the position from the maintainer: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/319#issuecomment-6382369
Calling our usage of anubis an attack on our users is far-fetched. But feel free to move elsewhere, or host an alternative without resorting to extreme measures. We're happy to see working proof that any other protection can be scaled up to the level of Codeberg. ~f
