# Powxy – anti-scraper reverse proxy
**Work in progress.**
Powxy uses a SHA-256 proof-of-work challenge to protect upstream resources from
scraper bots.
## Credits
Inspired by [Anubis](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis). But much simpler.
## Bugs
- If a user is attempting to submit a POST request but their powxy cookie is
invalid, powxy would redirect them to a challenge, and their POST data will
be lost.
- It does not work when duplex connections are needed, e.g. with Git's Smart
HTTP protocol.
