🛑 Checkpoint

Checkpoint is a tiny reverse proxy that attempts to block AI by serving a cryptographic challenge.

This project is a work-in-progress. It works, but has only basic functionality.

Why?

AI scrapers are everywhere. This will stop them. robots.txt won't.

Features

• Protect your endpoint from AI bots with a cryptographic challenge
• Easy configuration in jsonc
• Support for cloudflare
• Minimal. The waiting page is a single file with no links that weighs 4kB

Planned features

• Dynamic challenge amount (aka difficulty)
• Detection of token overuse
• Better wait screen
• Better git integration (it's quite rudimentary right now)

Caveats

If you are using this, it's almost certain search engines will stop indexing your site. Keep this in mind.
