Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BotZoom

No. Logged-in users are never blocked. If you are blocked while logged out, for example after mistyping your password too often, wait until the block expires or ask someone with access to unblock your IP under BotZoom > Blocked IPs. You can also add your own IP address under "Never block".

No. Visitors that claim to be a search engine are verified with a reverse and forward DNS check. Verified crawlers are never blocked. My site runs behind Cloudflare or another proxy Set "Visitor IP from" to the header your proxy uses, for example HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP for Cloudflare. Only change this if your site really runs behind that proxy, otherwise attackers can fake their IP address.

No. Protection against DDoS attacks is handled by the firewall of your hosting provider. BotZoom is an extra layer against bots that search your site for leaks and vulnerabilities.
