Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: (unknown)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.2.5

When I configure firewall with more light options that you comment in pdf documentation, I recieve an email that calls that AdminTools blocked an IP: 66.249.66.218 that is a Google bot.

I think that maybe this can block my website to Google bot indexer and affect negativelly with visiblity of my website.

How can I do?

Many thanks!

You can add this IP to the "Never block this IP address" in Admin Tools' Configure WAF page and Admin Tools will never block requests from this IP address.
