Hi folks.
I’d like to scan my website https://www.mobilelocksmithsquad.com/ with ahrefs.com
Apparently now is blocked by Firewall rules
I’ve asked Ahrefs support and their answer was mixed:
So I don’t know exactly what to do.
Please help.
You can make a new rule to allow them. Their answer isn’t mixed though, the article on the left is preventing them from searching. Live chat the agent sent the IP and User-Agent so that you can make a Firewall allow rule.
The ideal rule would be checking the IPs and verifying User-Agent. You can make a list of their IPs and then make a rule for it.
To make a list: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/configurations/lists
To make a firewall rule: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/firewall/firewall-rules/new

Your rule is blocking all known (“good”) bots not coming from the US. Ahrefs is a known bot, so your rule will block it if it’s not using a US node.

Thank you so much. I’ll try it and let you know.
