Version 1.0 of the Peer39 crawler.
peer39_crawler/1.0 crawls websites using the user-agent peer39_crawler. Review the safety rating and blocking impact below.
<code>User-agent: peer39_crawler</code> — Matching is case-insensitive. Robots.txt is fetched from the root of each subdomain separately.
Understanding peer39_crawler/1.0's purpose helps you decide whether to allow or block it.
peer39_crawler. This is the exact string you must use in robots.txt, Nginx, Apache, or Cloudflare firewall rules to target this bot. User-agent matching in robots.txt is case-insensitive, but the string must be spelled correctly. You can verify that a request genuinely comes from peer39_crawler/1.0 by performing a reverse-DNS lookup on the source IP — legitimate bots resolve back to their operator's domain./robots.txt file:
User-agent: peer39_crawler Disallow: /This instructs peer39_crawler/1.0 not to crawl any path on your site. The Disallow: / directive covers the entire domain including subfolders. To only block specific sections, replace / with the path (e.g.,
Disallow: /blog/). Note: robots.txt is publicly readable — any bot or human can inspect it at yourdomain.com/robots.txt.peer39_crawler (case-insensitive grep: grep -i "peer39_crawler" /var/log/nginx/access.log). You can also check Google Search Console → Coverage → Crawl Stats for Googlebot variants. For peer39_crawler/1.0 specifically, filter by user-agent in your log analysis tool (GoAccess, AWStats, etc.).Disallow: / you can restrict peer39_crawler/1.0 to specific paths:
User-agent: peer39_crawler Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /staging/ Allow: /This allows peer39_crawler/1.0 everywhere except the listed paths. Path matching in robots.txt uses prefix matching —
Disallow: /private/ blocks /private/page.html but NOT /public/private/.Crawl-delay: 30 below the User-agent directive in robots.txt.
2. Rate-limit the user-agent via Nginx's limit_req_zone or Apache's mod_ratelimit.
3. Block it outright at Cloudflare WAF with rule: http.user_agent contains "peer39_crawler".
