My sites have joined MS Clarity and MS search spiders began to crawl my sites frequently. nginxrepeatoffender began to jail their IPs.
Their general domain names are:
msnbot-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.search.msn.com

How do I whitelist them? In where xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx is a general IPv4 IP address.

Hello,
Here are some IPs from .search.msn.com which I saw today on fail2ban log files. They are not the same every time.

any one may try this regex for MS Clarity and MS Search but I am not sure it is 100% correct.

"~*(?:\b)msnbot-'\b((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)(-|$)){4}\b'.search.msn.com(?:\b)" 0;

another one gives these to check IPv4
^(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?).){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$

According to this log all the bingbots are getting a 200 OK and some are getting a 404 NOT FOUND - so according to this they are not being blocked unless they got a 444 error (default)

This software is quite nice to web masters.

I recommend this to all web masters. Everybody should donate and keep it running. ^^
