Common automated services
Legitimate automation services such as web crawlers, security scanners, or SEO tools can often access your domain to gather some information. Such services operate without triggering any security measures as they're considered beneficial or necessary for normal web activities.
However, sometimes you may want to restrict which automation tools can access your domain. For instance, if you need to enforce specific data protection requirements on a domain, protect it from potentially harmful services, or restrict paid content from unauthorized use.
You can do so by enabling or disabling particular bots in the Common automated services policy group.
This policy group is available in the Pro and Enterprise plans.
Configure policy group
You can review and enable relevant policies in the Gcore Customer Portal:
1. Navigate to WAAP > Domains.
2. Find the domain where you want to configure the policy and click the domain name to open it.
3. On the Policies page that opens, click Common automated services to expand the section and adjust the policies.
