Trying to exclude bots Karma: 1  
Hi there, I've searched here and found other people asking how to exclude bots.
I understand to do it by IP
However your link http://chceme.info/ips/
seems now to be an abandoned site.

Can anyone kindly help with a list of IP's of standard bots?

Thank you.

Hi,

good lists of IP addresses of known bots can be found on this websites:

http://www.iplists.com/

Best regards

Tks for that, I did find them before posting, but I balked at the sheer number to have to list out and add.

Would it be a good idea for a user to be able to click on the IP in the visitor logs automatically adding it to the IGNORE list?

Wordfence do a similar thing (for malicious Ip's) and it is very handy.

Thanks for the suggestion, it could be nice to implement this shortcut in future version. Even if that would be a one-by-one IP exclusion and not a quickest range of IP addresses.

Re:Trying to exclude bots Karma: 1  
sorry about all the questions,

can we post exclusions in this format? - 104.132.0.0/21
or is there a way to convert it to a range?

No. Exclusions must be specified exactly as in the field description.

104.132.0.0-104.132.0.21
