Astrina bot & checker IPs

If you found this page in your server logs: an Astrina user asked us to check this site. Astrina runs uptime monitors, secret-shopper scenarios (scripted form walk-throughs), SEO crawls and one-off page checks on behalf of site owners and our users.

Where our checks come from

All scheduled checks and crawls leave from this address:

37.59.138.174

User agents: AstrinaBot/1.0 (+https://astrina.io/bot) · AstrinaMonitor/1.0 (+https://astrina.io/bot)

Independent Pulsar-network probes (opt-in device checks) come from their own residential addresses and always carry the Astrina user agent.

Why you may want to allowlist it

If this is your site, the checks are almost certainly your own monitoring: uptime, form scenarios, SEO audits. A firewall, rate limiter or anti-bot layer (Cloudflare, fail2ban, ModSecurity) that bans this IP silently breaks that monitoring — the checks report your forms as broken or your site as down, when what is down is only our access to it.

  • Cloudflare: Security → WAF → Tools → IP Access Rules → Allow for the IP above.
  • fail2ban: add the IP to ignoreip in your jail configuration.
  • nginx / Apache: exclude the IP from rate-limit and deny rules.
Not your monitoring? How to stop it

Scheduled checks exist only for sites configured by their owners in Astrina; one-off checks are started manually by our users. If you believe this site is being checked against your wishes, block the IP above — or write to us and we will stop the checks for your domain. Contact us →
