IP Access Control
This is a Pro feature. IP access control lets you maintain allowlists and blocklists of specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges.
Enable under Settings → ScraperBlock → Protection → IP Access Control.
IP Blocklist
IPs on the blocklist receive a 403 Forbidden response immediately, before any other checks. Supports:
- Individual IPs:
192.168.1.100 - CIDR ranges:
192.168.1.0/24 - IPv6 addresses and ranges
IP Allowlist (Whitelist)
IPs on the allowlist bypass all ScraperBlock checks entirely. Use for:
- Your own monitoring tools
- Trusted SEO crawlers you have authorised
- Partner integrations that make automated requests
- Office/server IP ranges
💡
Always add your own server IP to the allowlist if you run automated health checks or monitoring scripts.
