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.
