Bot Watch

This is the browser experiment. You can use it here without installing anything.

Browsers limit what a website can access on your computer, so some features may be unavailable here. A desktop version can usually work more directly with your files, folders, devices, or operating system.

How this browser version works

• Live View isn’t connected to any real website yet, and says Not connected. Preview Demo shows clearly labeled sample traffic, and Block there doesn’t block anything.
• Analyze Past Traffic reads Apache and Nginx access logs (including .gz files) and JSON or CSV log exports such as Vercel’s, up to 50 MB and 500,000 records. Files without visitor IP addresses can be reviewed, but not blocked.
• Labels come from simple, visible rules (missing-page probes, repeated form or API hits, request bursts, script and scanner user agents). They aren’t proof of intent, and a quiet attacker can look normal.
• Bot Watch can’t block anyone. Block builds a list of rules to copy into your own server or firewall.
• Your traffic file is read in this browser and never uploaded or saved. Your Watch, Allow, and Block choices are saved in this browser only.

What a desktop version could offer

• Watch a live log as it grows, instead of loading a copy.
• Remember visitors across many days of logs.
• Apply blocks directly to your server or firewall.
