## CloudFlare Verified Bot
134+
135+
Checkly is also registered with CloudFlare as a [verified bot](https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/verified-bots/). If you are using CloudFlare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect your site, you can also allow traffic from Checkly by adding a [custom WAF rule](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/custom-rules/) to enable traffic from verified bots.
136+
137+
Specifically, the [Checkly verified bot](https://radar.cloudflare.com/bots/directory/checkly) is included in the [Monitoring & Analytics category](https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/verified-bots/categories/).
138+
139+
CloudFlare automatically syncs the latest Checkly IP addresses, so this approach can be easier to maintain than [IP range allowlisting](#ip-range-allowlisting).
