Oh great, and make another site that won't let me in unless I'm
using a mainstream Web browser.

I host 91GB of files over public HTTP on my Oracle Cloud VPS, with
no robots.txt let alone some Kev-blocking system. Crawlers are
continuously hitting it, but over almost two years the total
uploaded data is 6.6TB - a very long way off the 10TB/month limit.

CPU load is also low (most content there is static). That said,
their free VPSs are over-subscribed so you don't get the sort of
CPU performance you might see with a paid service using an
equivalent-spec CPU.
