Hi,

Create a WAF/Firewall Rule with action “Block”, and the following expression:

(not cf.client.bot and http.request.uri.path contains "sitemap")

This will prevent anyone not on Cloudflare’s Known Bots list to access any file containing the word sitemap in its name.

You’ll find step-by-step instructions in the documentation of Firewall Rules below.
