Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
1. The plugin will come with a list of good bots which are excepted from filtering. The list is as follows:
googlebot,googleweblight,bingbot,mediapartners-google,ia_archiver,FeedFetcher-Google,msnbot,yandexbot,baiduspider,wordpress,apis-google,AdsBot-Google-Mobile,Google-Read-Aloud,DuplexWeb-Google,Storebot-Google,Googlebot-Image,AdsBot-Google-Mobile-Apps,Googlebot-Video,Googlebot-News,AdsBot-Google,facebot,facebookexternalhit,pinterest,twitter
2. Yes, the plugin is working with CloudFlare.
3. Well, the plugin also has a list of ‘Bad Bots’ it is able to ban out of the box. If you wish, I can provide also a list of bad bots which are currently blocked, in private. You can also add a list of user agents of bots you wish to ban, however, I am not sure if the DMCA bots will have a specific user agent which identifies them, I checked this on the net and did not found any useful info on this. If you manage to find a way to find out the user agents of these bots, they can be added in the exclusion list of the plugin and it will be able to block them.
