Description of my issue:
Is there a chance to get a "Site IP Whitelist" Feature in a future Release?

Background: We using AT on a company site. We get some false positive blockings.
The only way to this now is to put the ip's in the (small) fields "Never Block these IPS"(Autoblocking) and/or "White list IPs"(Bad behaviour). That is not very comfortable ...

Hello Ulrich,

If these false positives are mainly linked with the Bad Behaviour integration, it's safe to disable that feature. I know that it's very trigger-finger-happy and produces a lot of false positives.

If this is not the case, please send me a PM or a ticket with more details over the false positives so that I can fix the root cause. Adding IPs to the white list is wrong way to treat the false positives issue. The proper way is to figure out why the false positives happen and how to stop them from happening.

In this case it's very safe to disable the Bad Behaviour integration (from Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF).
