rDNS verification (FCrDNS)

Verify a request is genuinely Cypress with forward-confirmed reverse DNS: the client IP's PTR record must end in one of the suffixes below and a forward A/AAAA lookup of that hostname must return the same IP. UA strings alone are spoofable; FCrDNS is not.

Sample User-Agent strings

no public sample user-agents recorded.
