Just a moment…
What is the issue you’re encountering
We use webcron.org to call a script on our site at a certain time every day, however, we can see from the logs that Cloudflare has started challenging these calls and returning 403 error codes. This started when we attempted to create a custom rule to block some bad Ai bots. We have since turned this rule off, however, Cloudflare is still blocking those calls from webcron.org. We therefore added a custom rule to skip everything if the full URI matched the scripts being called but Cloudflare is still returning 403 and hitting webcron.org with a challenge. How can we allowlist these calls and allow them through?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
We tried deactivating the WAF rules we added but Cloudflare is still challenging that traffic.
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
Here is the truncated header in the log file from Webcron.org (they limit it to 255 characters)
