		```nix
		{
		services.anubis.defaultOptions = {
		botPolicy = {
		dnsbl = false;
		};
		settings.DIFFICULTY = 3;
		};
		}
		```

		Note that at the moment, a custom bot policy is not merged with the baked-in one. That means to only override a setting
		like `dnsbl`, copying the entire bot policy is required. Check
		[the upstream repository](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/blob/1509b06cb921aff842e71fbb6636646be6ed5b46/cmd/anubis/botPolicies.json)
		for the policy.
		By default, this module uses Anubis's built-in policy (`botPolicies.yaml`), which includes sensible defaults for bot
		rules, thresholds, status codes, and storage backend. A custom policy file is only generated when you explicitly
		customize the policy via {option}`services.anubis.instances.<name>.policy`.

		To add custom bot rules while keeping the defaults:

		```nix
		{
		services.anubis.instances.default = {
		settings.TARGET = "http://localhost:8000";
		policy.extraBots = [
		{
		name = "my-allowed-bot";
		user_agent_regex = "MyBot/.*";
		action = "ALLOW";
		}
		];
		};
		}
		```

		To opt out of the default bot rules entirely and define your own:

		```nix
		{
		services.anubis.instances.default = {
		settings.TARGET = "http://localhost:8000";
		policy = {
		useDefaultBotRules = false;
		extraBots = [
		{
		name = "my-rule";
		path_regex = ".*";
		action = "CHALLENGE";
		}
		];
		};
		};
		}
		```

		::: {.note}
		When you customize the policy, a custom policy file is generated. This file imports the default bot rules via
		`(data)/meta/default-config.yaml` when {option}`services.anubis.instances.<name>.policy.useDefaultBotRules` is enabled,
		but uses Anubis's simpler legacy threshold instead of the 5-tier thresholds from `botPolicies.yaml`. If you need custom
		thresholds, specify them in {option}`services.anubis.instances.<name>.policy.settings`.
		:::

		See [the upstream documentation](https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/policies) for all available policy options.
