Clicks from user agents matching this pattern are silently ignored and never written to your reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the user-agent regex, Pretty Links applies several other cheap signals on the redirect path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Empty <code>Accept<\/code> header honeypot<\/strong> \u2014 real browsers always send one; scripts and <code>curl<\/code>\/<code>wget<\/code> often don't;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-GET methods<\/strong> \u2014 link clicks are GET, so HEAD\/POST\/etc on the redirect URL is treated as a scanner or preview probe;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Platform mismatch<\/strong> \u2014 when the browser sends a <code>Sec-CH-UA-Platform<\/code> hint that doesn't match the OS in its user-agent string.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die <strong>Filter bots from click counts<\/strong> setting is on by default and covers the majority of automated traffic without any configuration on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blocked-bot-user-agent-patterns\"><a href=\"#blocked-bot-user-agent-patterns\">Blocked Bot User-Agent Patterns<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice a specific bot or scraper hitting your links, you can add your own pattern to the <strong>Blocked bot user-agent patterns<\/strong> field. Enter user agent fragments one per line \u2014 for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>MyScraper<\/code>;<\/li>\n<li><code>internal-monitor<\/code>;<\/li>\n<li><code>pingdom<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything matching one of your custom patterns gets filtered along with the built-in list. Patterns are case-insensitive and matched as substrings, so <code>pingdom<\/code> matches <code>Pingdom.com_bot\/3.2<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blocked-ip-addresses\"><a href=\"#blocked-ip-addresses\">Blocked IP Addresses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die <strong>Blocked IP addresses<\/strong> list is for IP addresses whose clicks you want to ignore \u2014 your office, your home, your VPN, a staging server, anywhere you might click a link without it counting as real traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter one IP per line. You can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single IPs<\/strong> \u2014 <code>203.0.113.42<\/code>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildcards<\/strong> \u2014 <code>203.0.113.*<\/code> matches any IP in that block;<\/li>\n<li><strong>CIDR ranges<\/strong> \u2014 <code>203.0.113.0\/24<\/code> matches the same block in CIDR notation;<\/li>\n<li><strong>IPv6<\/strong> \u2014 Both single addresses and CIDR ranges are supported.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"allowed-ip-addresses\"><a href=\"#allowed-ip-addresses\">Allowed IP Addresses<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die <strong>Allowed IP addresses<\/strong> list is the opposite of the Blocked list \u2014 it's for IPs you specifically want to <strong>always count<\/strong>, even if they'd otherwise be filtered as bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful if a teammate is testing from an IP that happens to share a range with a known bot, or if you want to guarantee your QA traffic is recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Allowed list overrides the bot filter \u2014 an allowed IP is counted even if its user agent looks like a bot. It does <strong>nicht<\/strong> override the Blocked list, however: an IP that appears on both lists is still blocked. Don't list the same IP in both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cloudflare-bot-management\"><a href=\"#cloudflare-bot-management\">Cloudflare Bot Management<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your site sits behind Cloudflare and Bot Management is forwarding signals to your origin, Pretty Links picks them up automatically \u2014 no setting to toggle. Two headers are honored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>CF-Bot-Score<\/code> \u2014 when present and below 30 (Cloudflare's threshold for &#8220;very likely bot&#8221;), the click is filtered;<\/li>\n<li><code>CF-Verified-Bot<\/code> \u2014 when set to a truthy value (Googlebot, Bingbot, and other Cloudflare-verified crawlers), the click is filtered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This catches a lot of bots that spoof their user agent strings to look like real browsers, which is increasingly common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You'll need a Cloudflare plan that exposes Bot Management headers to the origin (not available on the basic plan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-find-your-office-ip\"><a href=\"#how-to-find-your-office-ip\">How to Find Your Office IP<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To exclude your own clicks from reports, you need to know what IP your office or home network appears as on the public internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fastest way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From the network you want to exclude, visit any &#8220;what is my IP&#8221; website.<\/li>\n<li>Copy the IP shown.<\/li>\n<li>Paste it into the <strong>Blocked IP addresses<\/strong> field in <strong>Dashboard &gt; Pretty Links &gt; Optionen &gt; Berichterstellung<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your office uses a dynamic IP (most home internet does), you may need to use a wildcard like <code>203.0.113.*<\/code> to cover the range your ISP rotates through, or check back periodically and update the IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a remote team, gather everyone's IPs and add them all to the Blocked IP addresses list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"filtering-takes-effect-immediately\"><a href=\"#filtering-takes-effect-immediately\">Filtering Takes Effect Immediately<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changes to your bot patterns and IP lists apply to <strong>new clicks<\/strong> going forward. Already-recorded clicks aren't retroactively removed. If you want a clean slate after tightening your filters, you can manually delete unwanted rows from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/prettylinks.com\/de\/docs\/standard-reports\/\">Klickverlauf<\/a><\/strong> report.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search engine crawlers, link-checking tools, your own office network, and even your own browser can pollute your click reports with visits that aren&#8217;t real audience engagement.
