  No, Anubis creates a throttle to stop ai scrapers from taking down https web resources.

    Sure but I would think Anubis would also somewhat stop DDOS attacks since clients need to pass Anubis to access the website and across a DDOS swarm that would use up significant resources.

      DDOS attacks do not always happen on https, though. You can overwhelm a system with DNS, NTP, or even just malformed packets. Anubis would do nothing for this.
