Filtration by User-Agents in the Anti-Crawler Option

We've extended the feature for working with user-agents for the Anti-Spam plugin. This feature is available for the WordPress plugin only. To enable user-agent filtration please open your Anti-Spam plugin settings:

WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk

Enable SpamFireWall option:

SpamFireWall option

Then open advanced settings (WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk -> Advanced settings) and enable "Anti-Crawler" option:

Filter UA option

You can see User-Agent in your SpamFireWall logs when Anti-Crawler blocks the request. With "To Personal Black & White Lists" button you can add a User-Agent to your Personal Lists.

Please note that you can add user-agents existing in our list only. Google bot and Bing bot whitelisted by default, you can't add them to your personal lists.
