Allowing the Scanner Through a Firewall

Let the Web Scanner reach sites behind a firewall or WAF using a stable egress IP, available from support.

Allowing the Scanner Through a Firewall

If your site sits behind a firewall, WAF, or another IP-based access rule, those protections can block the scanner before it reaches your pages — which leads to incomplete results or failed scans. Use this page to let the crawler through.


Static egress IP

The Web Scanner crawls from a single, stable IP address that does not change between scans, so you can add it to your allowlist once and leave it in place. To get the IP address, contact support@oursprivacy.com.

User agent

The crawler also sends a consistent user-agent string that identifies it as the Web Scanner. If you need to identify our traffic by user agent, contact support@oursprivacy.com and we'll share the current value.
