how block apple bots in wordfence

Hi @miiiii, thanks for the question and video.

Ultimately, it’s becoming harder to guarantee a visit is from a human or bot. Whilst we do still attempt to make this distinction based on behavior within your site, visits can be miscategorized. As a result, Wordfence primarily now considers the intent of a particular request when making a decision to block.

Naturally if these applebot visits haven’t done anything to be automatically blocked, but blocking them is your preference then you can do this. On the “Custom Pattern” section of Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking shown in your video, you only need to fill out one type of field before the mandatory reason. *.applebot.apple.com should catch all hostnames rather than having to keep up with IP ranges or other specifics.

Thanks,
Peter.
