How to get rogerbot whitelisted for application firewalls.

[Shawn_Huber]

we have recently installed an application firewall that is blocking rogerbot from crawling our site. Our IT department has asked for an IP address or range of IP addresses to add to the acceptable crawlers. If rogerbot has a dynamic IP address how to we get him added to our whitelist? The product IT is using is from F5 called Application Security Manager.

Hi, our IP is changing all the time. We do have an option that may resolve your issue though. I'm going to create a ticket as I will need some personal information regarding your account.

Thanks,

Joel

We have a similar issue where we block the Amazon cloudspace but want to allow rogerbot. Our firewall finds it much easier to block by IP range rather than user-agent (rogerbot).

Can you please tell us more about the solution you suggested?

Hi Joel,

Just wondering if you guys came up with a fix for this one? I have the same issue myself...

Thanks!
