What are custom rules in CaptchaFox?
Custom rules let you combine signals like country, network type, IP range, device type and risk score into conditions that decide whether a request is allowed, challenged or blocked. Each rule can target a specific endpoint or flow.
Do rule changes require a code deployment?
No. Rules are managed in the CaptchaFox dashboard and take effect across all deployments within seconds. There is no release cycle, and any change can be reverted with one click.
Can I apply different rules to different endpoints?
Yes. You can protect signup with strict thresholds while keeping checkout frictionless, all from a single configuration. Rules are evaluated per endpoint, so each flow gets exactly the protection it needs.
Do I need a developer to manage rules?
No. Rules are created and edited in the dashboard without writing code, so security and operations teams can respond to new attack patterns directly — no engineering ticket or release required.
Which conditions and actions can rules combine?
Rules support multiple match operators across IP ranges, countries, network types, device types and risk scores, combined with actions like allow, challenge and block.
