Overview
When your website uses Cloudflare and its Web Application Firewall (WAF) is active, it may block automated content pushes from Search Atlas tools such as OTTO SEO. This happens because Cloudflare does not recognise Search Atlas servers by default and may treat the requests as potential threats.
This article explains how to whitelist Search Atlas IP addresses inside your Cloudflare account so content automation works without interruption.
Step 1 — Access Your Cloudflare Security Settings
Log in to your Cloudflare account at cloudflare.com and select the domain that is blocking your content pushes. From your domain's dashboard, navigate to the security or firewall section where IP-based rules can be managed.
If you access Cloudflare through a hosting control panel (such as cPanel), look for a Cloudflare or security option within that panel and open the firewall or IP rules area from there.
Step 2 — Add an IP Allowlist Rule for Search Atlas
Once you are in the firewall or IP rules area of your Cloudflare settings, create an allow rule for the following Search Atlas IP addresses:
- 52.41.36.82
- 52.43.154.161
- 54.69.73.23
For each IP address, set the action to Allow and apply it to your domain. Save your changes once all addresses have been added.
Step 3 — Retry Your Content Push
After saving the allowlist rules, return to Search Atlas and retry the content push that was previously blocked. In most cases this resolves the firewall block immediately.
If the content push still fails after adding all IP addresses, check that the rules have been saved correctly and that no other firewall or security layer (such as a separate hosting-level firewall) is also active on your domain.
