    Interesting point, I had not thought about that. Are Googlebot imposters not an issue as well?

    Yeah that MAYBE an issue too. I have much more extensive nginx block/rate limiting method for google and bingbot imposters. But can use more resources as it involves using nginx and geoip nginx module to analyse and monitor the entire ip address/ASN ranges for both google and bing/microsoft to allow only known ips belong to them through and rate limit or block the imposter bots which are coming from ips not known to be owned by google/bing/microsoft.

    I applied these configurations nginx.con and virtual hosts confs both but when i test the results:

    PHP:

    done.

    It gives 520 Errors, not 444? I ' m using cloudflare, it may related with that?

    BTW: "Cliqzbot", "MegaIndex.ru" and "Yahoo! Slurp" are coming one of the top list user_agents for me.
    I will add the yahoo bot to whitelisted as 1 and "Cliqzbot" and "MegaIndex.ru" will be 3 of course.

    yeah sounds like 520 is a cloudflare error status code Error 520: Web server is returning an unknown error – CloudFlare Support

    nginx 444 gives empty response so matchings what triggers cloudflare 520 so normal

    I have no negative performance issue yet. So it looks good.

    Btw I moved the YandexBot to whitelist as "1" i think it is important searchbot after google, bing, yahoo so we shouldn't filter it.

    great
    thanks for confirmation
    define passive aggressive bots ?
    indeed the forums suddenly got more Russian vistors after yandex visited it this past week. I still have it set to 2 for rate limiting though

    I just received a massive flood(really massive), hitting random links at my site and with the following User Agent: "Pcore-HTTP/v0.24.5"

    I blocked it with a 444 response code and it resolved the issue.

    Does anyone know this user agent?
