mail to links obfuscation

Question

There are locations where I want to display a mailto link, but don't want to expose it to scraping. It would be nice if there were options to enable whatever methods are "best/current".

Looks like we have this on for Cloud hosting so it should automatically be redacted when a bot crawls

@John Siciliano, I'm even more impressed with your answer now! haha

John Siciliano · Answer

hahah I've just gone through every cloudflare setting for my own site so have a decent idea of what's out there. Cloudflare for SaaS basically provides the same tools we have for our own sites (and then some)

Any chance you'd know how to bypass some IPs then? I use a SEO scraper to track ranking, they are often blocked by Cloudflare. The SEO tool company has static IPs they say to add to Cloudflare but they don't have any instructions on what to do.

John Siciliano · Answer

Is it your cloudflare or Webstudio's that blocking it? My guess is Webstudios

Jeremy · Answer

Ah... I didn't even consider that. I used the firewall stuff and added their IPs a while ago to my Cloudflare, I assumed I setup something wrong.

Maybe try Cloudflare Trace. I haven't used it https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/basic-tasks/trace-request/how-to/
