You may want to adjust your custom rules to increase access by customers or partners.

If a customer or partner is large enough, you could set up a custom rule based on an autonomous system number (ASN) Open external link .

​​ Allow traffic by ASN

This example uses:

• The ip.geoip.asnum field to specify the general region.
• The cf.bot_management.score field to ensure partner traffic does not come from bots.

​​ Adjust rules by ASN

This example uses:

• The ip.geoip.asnum field to specify the general region.
• The cf.threat_score dynamic field to ensure requests are not high-risk traffic.

​​ Use IP addresses in custom rules

For smaller organizations, you could set up custom rules based on IP addresses.
