In the past, I had collect IPs from visits with a bot behavior, but that was not really fine. Yet I started a new one.
It concerns only non-detectable bots with JavaScript (non-detectable JS-Bots). Non-JavaScript bots are not concerned. But it is possible, that bots sends a self-generated tracking-Url to your Matomo without JavaScript.
When you see in your reports a visit with a maybe bot behavior, copy the visitor IP and check it on this website:
: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo
When the “Connection Type” is “corporate” and not “Cable/DSL” it is maybe a bot. It is your decision to collect it in a blacklist. For blocking bot IPs, use the IP CIDR from the table column “Network” (like: 123.456.789.123/24). You can save the IP CIDR in the Matomo Dashboard in the “Global list of Excluded IPs”.
You can share your finds here with other users.
Example of IP CIDRs from bots:
