Update custom rules for customers or partners

You may want to adjust your custom rules to increase access by customers or partners.

Potential examples include:

Use ASN in custom rules

If a customer or partner is large enough, you could set up a custom rule based on an autonomous system number (ASN) ↗.

This example uses:

The ip.geoip.asnum field to specify the general region.
The cf.bot_management.score field to ensure partner traffic does not come from bots.

Example rule:

This example uses:

The ip.geoip.asnum field to specify the general region.
The cf.threat_score dynamic field to ensure requests are not high-risk traffic.

If a request meets these criteria, your custom rule skips User Agent Blocking rules.

For smaller organizations, you could set up custom rules based on IP addresses.

This example:

Specifies the source IP address and the host.
Uses the cf.bot_management.score field to ensure requests are not high-risk traffic.

Example rule:

Expression: (ip.src eq 203.0.113.1 and http.host eq "example.com" and cf.bot_management.score gt 30)
Action: Skip:
- All remaining custom rules

This example specifies the source IP address and the host.

If a request meets these criteria, it will skip rate limiting rules.
