Hey RockBD ,

Thanks for your response. Can I clarify that you want to block VAPT scans from scanning browsers that your registered users can access to?

    I want to block unregistered user access from outside world to my web systems. outside access can be VAPT scans or other for unregister users.

        Sorry for the late reply. 

        Register user means who have username and password to enter into the site and view the restricted pages. 

        Unregister user are opposite of register user.

      in that case, you can try adding APM access profile's authentication page to the LTM vserver.
      it's not tunnel mode so shouldnt need apm ccu license.

      i implemented such mechanism using other ADC brand for a corporate banking website.

      surely vapt can still access that webpage but bigip wont forward unauthenticated requests to backend ltm pool members.
