Web Referrer Allowlist

Web Referral Monitoring reports the pages that send traffic to your site. An unexpected referrer can be legitimate coverage, or a cloned copy of your site passing visitors through. The "Web Referrer Allowlist" lists the referrers you trust, such as your own domains and partners, so StyxView treats traffic from them as legitimate and you can focus on suspicious referrers.

Each entry describes a domain and, optionally, a subdomain and a path.

Navigation Path

In the left menu, go to "Configuration" → "Web Referrer Allowlist". Only users with the Admin role see this page.

Steps to Add a New Referrer Log Configuration to the Allowlist

1. Go to "Configuration" → "Web Referrer Allowlist".

2. Select "Add More". The "Add Allowlist Entry" dialog opens.

   

3. Complete the fields:

   Field	What to enter
   Subdomain	Optional. The subdomain part, for example www or news.eu. Leave it empty for the domain itself.
   Include Nested Subdomains	Turn on to also match every subdomain below the one you entered. With news, the entry also matches eu.news.fabrikam.com. Available only when "Subdomain" has a value.
   Domain (without TLD)	Required. The domain name without its suffix, for example fabrikam for fabrikam.com.
   TLD	The suffix, for example com or co.uk. Required unless "Any TLD (*)" is on.
   Any TLD (*)	Turn on to match the domain under any suffix, for example fabrikam.com, fabrikam.net, and fabrikam.co.uk. The "TLD" field then shows *.
   Path	Optional. The path after the domain, without the leading slash, for example blog. The entry matches paths that start with it. Leave it empty to match all paths.

   

4. Select "Save" to add the entry, or "Cancel" to close the dialog without saving.

Rules for Each Field

• "Subdomain": each part separated by a dot uses 1 to 63 letters, numbers, or hyphens, with no hyphen at the start or end.
• "Domain (without TLD)": 1 to 63 letters, numbers, or hyphens, with no dot and no hyphen at the start or end.
• "TLD": letters only, with parts separated by dots, for example co.uk.

StyxView removes characters that are not allowed as you type, and names the field to correct when you select "Save".

Verifying the Referrer Log Configuration

After you save, the entry appears in the "Web Referrer Allowlist" table. Use "Search...", "Filters", or "Columns" in the toolbar to find it.

Column	Description
Subdomain	The subdomain. An entry that includes nested subdomains shows *. in front of it.
Domain (without TLD)	The domain name without its suffix.
TLD	The suffix, or * for any suffix.
Path	The path the entry matches.
Created Date	When the entry was added.
Updated At	When the entry was last changed.
Active	Whether the entry is enabled.
Actions	The edit icon and the switch that turns the entry on or off.

Actions (Edit, Enable/Disable)

• Edit: select the pencil icon in "Actions". The dialog opens with the entry's values. Change them and select "Save".
• Enable or disable: use the switch in "Actions". A disabled entry stays in the list, and the "Active" column shows its state.
