## **4. Create a New Firewall Rule**

* Click on the **Create Rule** button.
* Provide a descriptive name, such as `Whitelist Requests Imber Bot`.

## 5. Define the Rule Criteria

* Use the following settings for the rule:
  * **Field**: `Header`
  * **Header Name**: `imber`
  * **Operator**: `equals`
  * **Value**: `SECRET GENERATED BY BOT`
* This ensures the rule matches only requests containing the specified hash in the `Imber` header.
