RewardGateway is a bot in the security scanners category, operated by Reward Gateway.
With the iboss Cloud Platform, each customer gets dedicated source cloud IP Addresses which are associated with the organization. Because of this, any data traversing the global cloud containerized gateways in the Platform will have a uniquely associated IP Address that can be mapped to the organization. This means that users always appear to be accessing the Internet from within the organization regardless of whether they’re in the office or on the road. This preserves the critical connectivity requirements that IT departments need when migrating to a cloud gateway platform.
Security scanners probe sites for vulnerabilities, certificates and exposed services. Some are research projects, some are vendors you hired. Allow your own scanners and block the rest at the WAF.
RewardGateway identifies itself with this user agent string:
reward-gatewayAnyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.
We have not confirmed whether RewardGateway follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: reward-gateway Disallow: /
User-agent: reward-gateway Disallow: /private/ Disallow: /search
User-agent: reward-gateway Allow: /blog/ Disallow: /
User-agent: reward-gateway Allow: / User-agent: * Disallow: /
User-agent: reward-gateway group, RewardGateway ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.reward-gateway from RewardGateway's user agent; check Reward Gateway's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.
Allow RewardGateway if it is a service you use, and keep its visits out of page views and ad requests either way.
Transfon Security for publishersRewardGateway is not a person. Exclude it from campaign and conversion data so reports reflect real visitors.
Transfon Security for advertisersAllow RewardGateway only if it works for your store, and keep it away from cart and checkout.
Transfon Security for e-commerceIf RewardGateway is a service you use, allow it on the endpoints it needs and block it elsewhere.
Transfon Security for SaaS and APIsrobots.txt is a request, not an enforcement. Transfon Security shows RewardGateway by name in the Top Bots report, so you can see how often it visits and which pages it reads. Block or allow it with a User Agent rule, or slow it down with a rate limit decision rule.

We have not confirmed whether RewardGateway follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: reward-gateway" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "reward-gateway" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so RewardGateway may not follow it, and anyone can send RewardGateway's user agent, so a fake RewardGateway ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
