Ensure website protection from bot attacks

Budget: 150 USD Deadline: 4 days

Konstantin, disabling comments is not the only way. I would suggest a combination: WAF/anti-bot filtering, rate limiting on forms, blocking based on behavioral patterns and logs, reCAPTCHA only on suspicious requests, as well as cleaning up already malicious traffic and setting up monitoring. This way, the load will decrease without losing normal users. I have implemented similar protections for commercial websites and CRMs, where it is important not just to "close the hole," but to stabilize operations. I can quickly assess the website and propose a timeline after checking the current architecture.

Good day. We understand your situation — regular bot attacks through the comment form create a load and worsen the website's performance. Disabling comments and using CAPTCHA are partial measures, but we can offer a more effective solution.

Our system engineers specialize in protecting web resources from brute force, spam bots, and DDoS attacks. For your case, we will propose comprehensive protection:

— We will configure a WAF (web application firewall) at the server level (ModSecurity + OWASP rules) to filter suspicious requests before they reach the website.
— We will implement rate limiting by IP and geolocation to restrict the number of requests per unit of time.
— We will set up proxy protection with pre-filtering of traffic (similar to Cloudflare, but with custom logic for your hosting).
— We will implement hidden honeypot fields in forms to catch bots without interfering with the user experience.
— We will add behavioral verification (activity analysis: mouse movement, time taken to fill out the form, etc.).

All solutions will be tailored to your hosting in Ukraine and the current architecture of the website. The protection will work transparently for real users but effectively block automated attacks.

We have already had a similar case: protecting a travel website from mass bot requests through booking forms. After implementation, the load decreased by 90%, while legitimate requests remained intact.

We work promptly and with a focus on stability. Expand

I can add Cloudflare

I am not sure if it will help or not
You need to read carefully about the possibilities of Cloudflare

Budget: 150 USD Deadline: 3 days

I understand the task: your website is suffering from bot attacks, particularly through comments. This creates a load on the server and spoils the user experience. Instead of standard solutions, such as disabling comments or using CAPTCHA, I propose to implement a protection system that includes: filtering comments using analysis algorithms, implementing user sessions to track suspicious activity, and using rate limiting to restrict requests from a single IP address.

Difficulties may arise when setting up filtering and integrating with the existing comment system. Therefore, it is important to clarify which system is currently being used and whether there is access to it for making changes.

The price for the completed solution will be $150, and the work duration will be about 3 days. This will allow for detailed testing of the system and guarantee its effectiveness. If this suits you, we can discuss the details and get started.

Good day. I will help solve the problem; filtering can be set up both at the Cloudflare level and at the hosting/site level. Feel free to reach out.

Budget: 25 USD Deadline: 1 day

Good day.
I can set up protection against bots.
I will check the logs for which IPs are frequently sending spam and block them.
If you have any questions, you can write to me in private messages.

Budget: 100 USD Deadline: 5 days

Good day
The captcha option is a good golden standard against bots
Another option is to attach Cloudflare
It blocks bots BEFORE they reach the hosting
• rate limiting
• geo/block by countries
• JS challenge without captcha
