Add IP Whitelist Botsearch

Sometimes Webmasters use web crawling bots (also called a “spider”). Crawling is the process by which Googlebot, Bingbot, Yahoobot, Yandexbot, Facebook … discovers new and updated pages to be added to the Search index. So you have to plan to add Botsearch IP Ranges to Whitelist of vDDoS (Including your Company’s IP or your Home Network IP)

Whitelist IP Ranges:

To Add Botsearch IP Ranges to Whitelist please edit your whitelist-botsearch.conf file:

nano /vddos/conf.d/whitelist-botsearch.conf

# Alexa Bot IP Addresses:
204.236.235.245; 75.101.186.145;

# Yahoo Bot IP Addresses:
67.195.37.0/24; 67.195.50.0/24; ...;

# Company's IP:
6.7.8.9;

Restart vDDoS:

vddos restart

Whitelist for the directory:

Sometimes you want to add a whitelist for the directorys.
Ex: directory "your-domain.com/secret/folder" in the website. Please refer to this article.
