    Hello,
    I hope you are doing well, thanks for this plugin which seems to be very powerful. I’m having troubles trying to block an IP address range which comes from the same city. It’s an apple bot apparently from Cupertino California. But it’s all time changing to another IP, so it’s impossible for me to block them all. Could you please help me to block this pattern ?? Check some IPs scanning my site all days has examples:

    17.121.114.73
    17.121.115.221
    17.121.113.88
    17.121.112.113
    17.121.115.24
    17.121.115.18
    17.121.114.134
    17.121.112.84
    17.121.114.132
    17.121.114.120
    17.121.113.5
    17.121.115.47

    ETc.. y etc.. Y tried to block them using the following range: 17.121.0.1-17.121.255.255 but it doesn’t seems to work! ..

    I will appreciate your help with this issue! Thanks!
    Regards,

    Hi @romonoutic

    To make sure that you actually want to block Apple’s crawler bot then check this guide below:

    https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204683

    You can stop Apple’s bot from crawling your website by adding these two lines to your WordPress robots.txt file:

    User-agent: Applebot
Disallow: /

    If you want to block it using Wordfence instead of using your robots.txt file then find a hit in the Tools >> Live Traffic page feed. Press the RUN WHOIS button. Then press the BLOCK THIS NETWORK button.

    Tell me how to write the correct range for blocking all that start with 2a02.
