As to your particular problem, I can only say that it works for me. The
Anubis software tells your browser to calculate a bunch of hashes, then
only lets you in once it has done enough "work".

My suspicion is that your browser is refusing cookies, which is (as far
as I understand) necessary for Anubis to work properly. Or you are using
some other form of script/cookie blocking.

I don't arbitrarily eat cookies. Why should I? Unless it's a site that I
