How To block DMCA Bots with CloudFlare

[infinity_marketing]

the problem it can be bypassed if they use headless browser

Cloudflare can also help with that, I think if you have a paid package they instal even more advanced security measures on your account

It is an ultra micro niche site focused on a single keyword. I used exact match domain & now the site is ranking in top 5.

Those weird DMCA bots are getting out of hand randomly sending copyrights for content that is not copyrighted just by searching titles and stuff... So I was wondering if they can get blocked from accessing my website...
So this CloudFlare rule for bots might help out and I will put it on all my websites and see if those weirdos stop sending those DMCA notices... So this is basically a study of some sort lol, if you are interested you can do the same and report the results on your side.

Block action.

You can also block them directly from your website/server. No need for cloudflare, as they also charge you a ton for those kind of features that are free lol

blocking at network side is way better and faster compared to server side , like if you have many bots requests and you have
chosen your server to block them that's will slow your server for sure but if cdn service like cloudflare did that for you , your server won't affect at all

i agree, but you can create your own cdn like cloudflare and still avoid those pricey tags

under attack mode helps with copyright bots? or just slows them down?

I think it helps tbh cause they're BOTS, but i think we should white list SEO bots like google
Also, my 2 cents
Would like to hear more opinions

Under attack mode won’t help at all. DMCA bots scrape the content from the SERP KW’s and send it to google. They don’t even enter in the website.
