It seems to that it works. I don't get any web-scrapers hitting anything but my main domain. I can't find any of my subdomains on google.
Please tell me how you believe that it works. Maybe i overlooked something...
My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped
It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.
