This document provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a Cloudflare rule that whitelists all requests originating from the Imber Bot, ensuring access to authorized traffic.

1. Log In to Cloudflare Dashboard

2. Select the Appropriate Domain

  • Navigate to the domain for which you want to set up the whitelist rule.

3. Access Firewall Rules

  • On the left-hand menu, click Security.

  • Select WAF (Web Application Firewall).

  • Select Custom Rules

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.

6. Set the Rule Action

  • Choose Skip as the action for this rule. This will bypass other firewall restrictions for matching requests.

7. Save and Deploy

  • Click Deploy to activate the rule. The new firewall rule will take effect immediately.
