Update firewall rules for customers or partners

You may want to adjust your firewall rules to increase access by customers or partners.

Potential examples include:

• Removing rate limiting for an API
• Sharing brand assets and marketing materials

​Update firewall rules by ASN

If a customer or partner is large enough, you could set up a firewall rule based on an autonomous system number (ASN)Open external link.

​Allow traffic by ASN

This example uses:

• ip.geoip.asnum to specify the general region
• The cf.bot_management.score dynamic field to ensure partner traffic does not come from bots

​Adjust rules by ASN

This example uses:

• ip.geoip.asnum to specify the general region
• The cf.threat_score dynamic field to ensure requests are not high-risk traffic

If a request meets these criteria, your firewall bypasses normal User Agent Block rules.

​Update firewall rules by IP

For smaller organizations, you could set up firewall rules based on IP addresses.

​Allow traffic by IP address

This example:

• Specifies the network and host
• Uses the cf.bot_management.score dynamic field to ensure requests are not high-risk traffic

​Adjust rules by IP address

This example specifies the network and host.

If a request meets these criteria, your firewall bypasses normal Rate Limiting rules.
