KonformiaBot

KonformiaBot is the checking robot of konformia.at. It opens a website the way a visitor sees it and measures what loads before and after cookie consent, plus accessibility, security headers and email records.

When it visits

Only when someone enters this website on konformia.at for a check, and then once a week while the owner has booked ongoing checks. It does not crawl the web on its own.

How to recognise it

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; KonformiaBot/0.1; +https://konformia.at/bot)
IP address: 204.168.216.113 (server in Finland, IPv4 only)

How it behaves

  • It follows robots.txt (token KonformiaBot or *).
  • At most 10 pages per check, plus up to 20 links and 20 images checked for reachability; for shops one item into the cart and the first checkout page, without ordering.
  • It never gets around bot protection or a security challenge. If one appears, the report says "blocked".
  • Before it reports that something loads without consent, it opens the home page a second time with an ordinary browser user agent, because some banners treat robots differently. This only happens if the home page was already open to KonformiaBot.

Allowing it when your bot protection blocks it

Cloudflare, all plans: under Security rules, Create rule > Custom rules. Condition: field "IP Source Address" equals 204.168.216.113 and field "User Agent" contains KonformiaBot. Action "Skip", ticked: All remaining custom rules, All rate limiting rules, All managed rules, All Super Bot Fight Mode rules, Browser Integrity Check, Security Level. Then Deploy.

Cloudflare with Bot Fight Mode (Free plan): Cloudflare does not let a rule skip it. It does not trigger, though, if an IP access rule matches first: under Security rules, Create rule > IP access rules, enter 204.168.216.113, action "Allow", Create.

Other firewalls (host, AWS WAF, security plugins): add an exception for the IP address 204.168.216.113, ideally also limited to the user agent KonformiaBot.

Then start the check again in your account. The exception applies to this one address only; you can delete it at any time.
