How to whitelist / bypass Anti-Bot for legitimate automated traffic (developer IP)

Hello SafeLine team,

We are using SafeLine WAF 9.2.8 and faced an issue with the Anti-Bot module blocking legitimate traffic.

We have a trusted IP address used by our developers which sends automated HTTP requests (scripts, CI/CD checks, internal testing tools). These requests are expected, legitimate, and not malicious, but they are currently being detected and blocked by the Anti-Bot protection.

We would like to understand:

What is the recommended way to exclude or whitelist a specific IP address from Anti-Bot checks?

Is it possible to bypass Anti-Bot challenges (JS / CAPTCHA / bot detection) for:

a specific source IP or IP range?

specific User-Agent headers?

a custom rule (Allow / Bypass Bot Protection)?

We checked the UI and found general Allow / Deny and Custom Rules, but it is not clear whether they fully bypass the Anti-Bot module or only affect access control.

Could you please advise:

The correct configuration approach for this scenario

Or confirm whether Anti-Bot exceptions are supported in 9.2.8, and where they should be configured (UI path or config)

This would help us safely allow trusted automation traffic while keeping Anti-Bot enabled for public users.

Thank you in advance.
