What is the difference between IP blocking and client-side detection?

Direct Answer: IP blocking relies on static blacklists, which modern botnets can easily bypass with rotating proxies. Client-side detection analyzes behavior and browser signals in real time. BotRefund uses 110+ on-site telemetry signals to identify bots that IP blocking misses. This approach also provides...

What is the Main World Execution check looking for?

Direct Answer: It is looking for a mismatch between how a normal browser runs standard APIs and what an automated browser reveals. Automation tools often patch browser APIs to hide themselves, but those patches can break when checked from another angle. BotRefund uses this...
