Sure, but to someone running a website out of there house, 100,000 bots trying to hit the site at the same time to scrape it is going to have the same effect. So yes, you’re correct, Anubis has nothing to do with stopping a literal DDoS attack, but it does help smaller websites stay alive by avoiding responding to requests from scrapers or one-off malicious agents.
Anubis does not prevent a ddos attack and only shifts the saturation point to your VPS. Anubis is the answer for bots and ai scrappers, not DDoS.
