WOVNCrawler is a bot in the accessibility checkers category, operated by Wovn Technologies, Inc..
We offer WOVN.io, a service for localization websites. We run a crawler to get source language of our clients' websites
Accessibility checkers scan pages for WCAG issues on behalf of site owners and auditors. Allow the checkers you run and keep them out of analytics.
WOVNCrawler identifies itself with this user agent string:
WovnCrawler/1.0Anyone 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 WOVNCrawler 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: WovnCrawler group, WOVNCrawler ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.WovnCrawler from WOVNCrawler's user agent; check Wovn Technologies, Inc.'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 WOVNCrawler if it is a service you use, and keep its visits out of page views and ad requests either way.
Transfon Security for publishersWOVNCrawler is not a person. Exclude it from campaign and conversion data so reports reflect real visitors.
Transfon Security for advertisersAllow WOVNCrawler only if it works for your store, and keep it away from cart and checkout.
Transfon Security for e-commerceIf WOVNCrawler 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 WOVNCrawler 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.

WOVNCrawler is a bot in the accessibility checkers category, operated by Wovn Technologies, Inc.. We offer WOVN.io, a service for localization websites. We run a crawler to get source language of our clients' websites
We have not confirmed whether WOVNCrawler 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: WovnCrawler" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "WovnCrawler" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so WOVNCrawler may not follow it, and anyone can send WOVNCrawler's user agent, so a fake WOVNCrawler ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
