@cory I think it might be PerplexityBot. I’m not 100% certain though.

@knowler thank you! Going to make sure it’s added on my end and keep an eye out for anything else they’re using.

@cory Ok, so maybe not PerplexityBot, this is the user-agent string: ArcMobile2/11 CFNetwork/1492.0.1 Darwin/23.3.0

@knowler got it! So we'd need to block `ArcMobile2`? I haven't dug into this myself but can't imagine the entire string is required.

@cory It also doesn’t seem like they’re respecting robots.txt
