Traffic Filtering

Filtering settings help protect your traffic from bots and unwanted visitors, as well as improve its quality.

Filtering Levels​

Level 0: No Filtering​

  • Disables all checks
  • Suitable for testing
  • Maximum throughput

Level 1: Basic Protection​

  • User-Agent signature checks
  • Network parameter analysis
  • Basic security checks
  • Recommended for most cases

Level 2: Advanced Protection​

  • Checks against 2500+ blacklists
  • Database of 1+ billion bot IPs
  • Continuous activity monitoring
  • Suitable for important campaigns

Level 3: Maximum Protection​

  • 15+ JavaScript browser checks
  • Time zone verification
  • Browser fingerprint analysis
  • For mission-critical traffic

Actions Upon Bot Detection​

Recommendations

The system includes a default WhitePage list, but you can configure custom actions if needed.

  • Redirect to an alternative URL
  • Supports multiple URLs
  • Random selection from the list

Additional Bot Sources​

Recommendations

By default, the system contains over 1 billion bot IPs and preconfigured filtering settings.

In this section, you can choose additional sources for validation or upload your own lists.

Platform and Browser Checks​

  • Unknown platform
  • Unknown browser
  • Abnormal User-Agent

Geolocation​

  • Empty country
  • Empty city
  • Time zone mismatch

Network Parameters​

  • Popular datacenters
  • VPN and proxies
  • IPv6 addresses
  • Empty referrer

Blacklists​

  • Known bots
  • Spammers
  • Malicious IPs

Additional Options​

First N Clicks​

Recommendations

This option is useful in "moderation mode" when you want to treat the first clicks from a platform as bot/unwanted traffic.

  • Treat the first N clicks as bots
  • Configurable amount
  • Choose an action

Referrer Whitelist​

Recommendations

Only use this if you're sure all traffic from the current platform is tagged with a referrer. Otherwise, inaccuracies may occur.

  • Treat all visits without a whitelisted referrer as bots
  • Supports masks
  • Has priority over other rules

Troubleshooting​

High Block Rate​

  1. Check your traffic sources
  2. Lower the filtering level
  3. Add exceptions for legitimate sources

Bot Bypass​

  1. Increase protection level
  2. Add additional checks
  3. Update blacklists

False Positives​

  1. Analyze block logs
  2. Set up whitelists
  3. Adjust filtering rules
Important

Overly aggressive filtering may block real users. Always test your settings with a small traffic sample.
