Bot Traffic Blocking
It does block a lot crap traffic that internet scanners generate. The less crap traffic my app servers need to deal with the better. So it does serve a useful purpose. However it's like magic, when it goes wrong and there is no way to know what is wrong, it becomes really frustrating to use.

Bot Traffic Blocking
So I really have 3 options; make a rule to skip it earlier in the chain, turn off the bot blocking and finally buy a enterprise package? It's really frustrating that so many of the requests here end in buy the top teir enterprise package 😦

If I knew the reason why it would blocked then we can go and correct any issues with the traffic we generate

Bot Traffic Blocking
I'm not asking to get a deep dive into the workings of my app. It's just that the logs are really vague on the reason for blocking the traffic. Something like this would be massively helpful * Missing userAgent * Malformed body * Suspicious url path Just saying "manage definite bots" on a rule that I don't have access to is not helpful.

Can I Add Site as subdomain?
I've looked at this kind of setup before in cloudflare and can confirm that it is basically impossible.

Can I Add Site as subdomain?
@William I know it's not the solve you want, but you can achieve this really easily with AWS Route53. You can create a parent zone and then create multiple subdomain zones and add the NS records to the parent zone. If your customers are willing you can grant them permissions to the zone you create, or they can just give you NS servers from any other provider and you can add them in. Just bear in mind that you basically loose control of that sub domain for the most part if they give you NS servers. But the actions of that subdomain could still affect the apex domain in terms of black listings. You're also left with the bill for lookup requests if their sub domain gets busy. Just think about this carefully if you really want to do it. Another option is to create an API that handles the creation and management of records. This also allows you to curate the records and keep full control over the domain, while still allowing your customers to create records.

Bot Traffic Blocking
Thats not really what I'm looking for. I can see that it is blocking unwanted traffic most of the time. However it is also blocking my traffic some of the time. I want to know what I can do to make my traffic less likely to be blocked.
