How do I white-list AAAtraq's web requests?
You may find your web server or ISP blocks some or all of the requests that AAAtraq sends, especially if you are using a CDN or bot-blocker such as Cloudflare or Akamai in "paranoid" mode. This will prevent AAAtraq from assessing your site properly. To solve this you should white-list AAAtraq's requests to your site.
Most web publishing solutions will allow you to easily white-list requests by the IP address they come from. To white-list AAAtraq requests you should list all of the following IP addresses:
3.211.3.36
54.80.170.148
54.152.153.32
Alternatively, and in some ways preferably, you may be able to
white-list by searching the User-Agent
request header.
If so, you should match on any agent containing the following sub-string:
dexter/
If you need help with setting up white-listing, please contact your vendor or department which handles your web hosting - they should find it very straightforward to assist you given a link to these instructions.
