[BUG] (Please add a way to uninstall completely)

Describe the bug

I wrote an ansible playbook for this blocker here
After installation, I got this "bad_bot variable" emergency error.
I could not figure out where the error was because the entries were successful in the vhost.
I added

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/botblocker-nginx-settings.conf;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/globalblacklist.conf;
to nginx.conf but no luck.

Suggestion: It would be great is there was a way to completely uninstall this git for proper reinstall.

To Reproduce

Follow the installation guide as detailed on this git.

Expected behavior

clean installation without errors

Server (please complete the following information):

Operating System:

  • Ubuntu 24

Nginx Version

  • Nginx 1.26

Additional information

Please add a way to completely uninstall.

i never finding best action to uninstall this, so i'm deleteing my os's then reconfigure again. huft.

Did we ever find a way to uninstall this? I installed it and it doesn't work. Went through the install step by step several times but still doesn't work. None of the tests work and if I add my own ip to the blocked list it doesn't do anything. All traffic still gets through. So I just want it off of my system but now I come to find out there is no mechanism to get this thing off my system. This has been a terrible experience.
