Yeah I probably will... because of this. 26 urls in 24 hours, mostly of the same woffs & css.php & out of those it didn't even bother crawling any that were "submitted" via indexnow.

I do use crawler hints. I Just don't see why it sends those so frequently though.

So, it seems that cloudflare keeps sending the same 3 things over & over constantly; being the woff, woff2 files and the css.php file to bing... Is the problem being dynamic content or is it a bug within xenforo causing this?

Ok let me put this another way.. If I am blocking, as per my attachment on page one, are you trying to tell me that the more I add to that list, the more hops I'd get? I do get that blocking it in 2+ ways would cause issues but I want you to elaborate. Because I'm not really understanding...

Do you mind elaborating on what you mean with the extra hops from cloudflare? I've tried blocking some with robots.txt (ahrefs & semrush) and their response is to send 20-40 at a time to bypass it, however blocking them via cloudflare, zaps them before they even touch my server.

That's a bit overkill for a list. Also if you block them with cloudflare it works better as you use their resources to block the bot instead of the bots using your stuff to initiate the block. The general rule of thumb for a .htaccess is, the less in it, the better. You just gave us a pretty...

Not quite hammered by bots but that ruleset I posted for cloudflare blocked 1.88k attempted visits by ahrefs alone in 24 hours. This at least helps webmasters to save on server resources: Bandwith, cpu, i/o ram usage etc. I don't really see the use in either other than to be a statistic for...

For blocking ahrefs, I just applied tonight, I'll see how it does. You can keep adding more as needed but the 2 biggest offenders imho are ahrefs & semrush. Select your domain, then security, then waf. Add a custom rule as shown below. I suppose for some like the guy above, cloudflare can be...

Nice catch

How many do you usually need to upload at a time? For most, 50 is more than enough.

I have my xenforo installed to: www.vgcheat.com while my old forum (was vb4.2.3) is at www.vgcheat.com/forum On this step what is the correct "dir" to input for the xenforo installation since it is a level above it? Simply replace the value of $dir with the full path to your XenForo directory...

I also want to know. Am looking for a free or paid solution to prevent a usergroup from having permission to post links/urls for Xenforo 2.

Xenforo has 2 right now.
