Hi @edsinno,

That looks like it will do what you asked. If it is from NA, and not a known bot then it will have whatever action you chose applied.

here is the full pic

So you will show a Captcha to any request from North America, unless it’s a known “good” bot.

@edsinno

block traffic

If you, instead, want to block it, just change that action to “Block”.

[edsinno]

Thank you @domjh
For a super quick reply

As of now i will keep it as challenge than later on block it, just to see the success and failure rate i.e CSR challenge solve rate

[domjh]

No problem, glad I could help

@edsinno

see the success and failure rate

Perfect, yes you can easily see the CSR on the rule page.

@domjh , just wanted to know, if you have any idea

ZoominfoBot (zoominfobot at zoominfo dot com)

is a good bot or bad bot,

[domjh]

It appears to be something related to market intelligence from this company zoominfo.com

I don’t know if that’s something you want on your site or not.

[edsinno]

so If I have to allow it, how should I Modify the rule

BTW I was trying to search on net and found this

[domjh]

If you want to allow it, try something like this. Either User Agent does not contain or does not equal and then either a partial or full UA string.

@domjh thank you
