Block Malicious Bots via Cloudflare
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I already have Cloudflare flagging a wave of automated bot traffic and I want that traffic gone— not redirected, not just logged, but blocked outright. Cloudflare’s Security Events panel shows the offending requests and confirms they fall into known black-listed IP ranges, so the task is to translate that evidence into effective, maintainable rules.
Here’s what I need from you right now:
• Inspect the current Cloudflare logs and identify every IP range repeatedly triggering the “bot” detections.
• Create IP Access Rules or Firewall Rules that block those ranges globally, ensuring legitimate users remain untouched.
• Verify in the dashboard that the rules immediately drop further requests from those IPs and that no collateral traffic is denied.
• Provide a short note explaining where the ranges came from and how to extend the block list in the future.
If you’ve worked with Cloudflare Firewall Rules, IP Access Rules, or WAF custom expressions, this should be quick. I’m ready to give you instant access to the zone so we can lock the door on these bots right away.
