Crawler
EnforceGateBot
EnforceGateBot is the web crawler behind EnforceGate's managed category feeds. It visits publicly reachable websites and classifies them (adult, gambling, malware, and similar categories) so that EnforceGate deployments can enforce content policies.
It identifies itself with this User-Agent on every request:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; EnforceGateBot/0.1; +https://www.enforcegate.com/bot)1 Why your site was visited
Domains are discovered from public sources only — Certificate Transparency logs, newly-registered-domain feeds, and public domain lists. We never use customer traffic or personal data to discover sites to crawl.
2 What it does on your site
- Fetches public pages like a browser — typically the homepage of a site.
- Extracts text and metadata for classification — it stores the extracted signals, not copies of your pages.
- Identifies itself honestly on every request with the User-Agent above.
- Stays light — a low request rate; it does not log in, submit forms, or probe beyond publicly reachable content.
3 Contact, wrong classification & opt-out
Questions about the crawler, a classification you believe is wrong, or a request that we stop visiting your site: email intelbot@enforcegate.com.
Misclassification reports are read and answered by a human — they are valuable to us and feed directly into review of the category data.
4 Crawler IP ranges
We plan to publish the crawler's source IP ranges here so you can verify that a request claiming to be EnforceGateBot really is. Until then, the User-Agent above and intelbot@enforcegate.com are the reference points.
