ssltest
ssltest is the checker behind ssltest.com. Each check reads the TLS certificate and settings of one host, along with its robots.txt and the headers of its home page.
User agent
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ssltest/1.0; +https://ssltest.com/bot)
Blocking ssltest with robots.txt
ssltest reads robots.txt before each check and stops when the rules disallow the check. These lines in robots.txt block ssltest:
User-agent: ssltest Disallow: /
ssltest still fetches the robots.txt file itself to read these rules, as section 2.2.2 of RFC 9309 describes. A DNS record blocks every check of a domain as well, as described on the opt-out page.
IP addresses
Requests from ssltest come from the addresses below, also available as ips.json. The addresses change over time, so robots.txt is the more reliable way to block ssltest.
