I’ve had issues in July with tons of requests from Singapore. I blocked an IP range, which worked for a while, but the problem came back harder in August (from Singapore, Hong Kong and Mexico) with high and unexpected CDN cost 😤

I noticed high pageviews from Amazonbot, DataForSeoBot, meta-externalagent, SeekportBot, etc…

This documentation [Controlling Web Crawlers For a Site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/controlling-web-crawlers-for-a-site/244925) says:

> [@Controlling Web Crawlers For a Site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/controlling-web-crawlers-for-a-site/244925/1):
>
> To obtain a record of untrustworthy web crawlers, you may refer to this list, [apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/robots.txt/robots.txt at master · mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker · GitHub](https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/blob/master/robots.txt/robots.txt)

This list doesn’t contain some of my most visiting bots, but I have a question nonetheless.  
Would it be advisable to add this whole list to the **Blocked crawler user agents** setting?  
Is there a way to bulk add bot names from a `.txt` file?
