Install the Antibot Script

The complete beginner's guide. Download the script, add your key, upload it, and protect your first link — in about 5 minutes. No coding needed.

What is the antibot script?

ZeroBot.php is a single PHP file you put on your website. When someone opens your link, the script quietly checks them: real visitors pass through and see your page, while bots and scanners get blocked. Humans never see a captcha.

You only edit one line in the file (your license key). Everything else is done from your dashboard. Follow the 7 steps below in order.

Before you start — you need 3 things

STEP-BY-STEP

Set up in 7 steps

1
Get a plan (or start the free trial)

Go to Dashboard → Subscriptions and activate a plan, or start the 7-day free trial (no card needed).

The free trial is for testing only — it allows 50 checks or 7 days, whichever comes first. Use a paid plan for real traffic.

2
Download the script

Go to Dashboard → Download and download ZeroBot.zip. Unzip it on your computer — inside you'll find one file: ZeroBot.php.

3
Copy your license key

Go to Dashboard → Profile and copy your Antibot License Key. It's a long code — copy the whole thing.

4
Paste your key into the file

Open ZeroBot.php with any text editor (Notepad, VS Code, or cPanel's editor). Near the top you'll see this line:

$license_key = "LICENSE KEY";

Replace LICENSE KEY with your real key (keep the quotes). It should look like this:

$license_key = "a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890";

Don't add spaces before or after the key, and don't remove the quotes or the semicolon. Save the file.

5
Upload the script to your website

Upload the edited ZeroBot.php to your hosting (via cPanel → File Manager or FTP). There are two ways to use it:

  • Protect a whole link/folder (easiest): put the file in a folder and rename it to index.php. That link is now protected — e.g. yoursite.com/offer/.
  • Protect an existing PHP page: add this one line to the very top of that page's PHP file:
    include 'ZeroBot.php';
Important: for the include method to work, the Redirect Link in that link's Custom Rule must be left empty. When it's empty, the script lets the visitor stay on the current page; if a Redirect Link is set, the visitor is sent there instead.

Your host must run PHP (almost all do). The file must keep the .php extension.

6
Authorize your domain

Go to Dashboard → My Domains and add your root domain — for example yoursite.com.

Add the root domain only: no https://, no www., no subdomain. The script won't work until the domain is authorized here.

7
Test it

Open your protected link in a browser — as a real visitor you'll pass straight through. Then open Dashboard → Antibot Traffic to watch the checks come in live.

Want to control where humans go, block countries, or add a captcha? That's done per link in Custom Rules.

Done! Your link is now protected. Real people get in, bots get blocked — automatically.
