 Hello,

we have lot of attacs on out site and we would like to set the GeoBlocking all countries (front-end) without Poland (local).
I read and I know it's not 100% effective but we think it can halp us.

But this block GoogleBot too. We loose our positions.
How can we set to not block googlebot? Uncheck United States or something?

Regards

Leaving the United States unblocked will allow the GoogleBot access to your site.

Everything that you see in the Security Exceptions Log has already been blocked. Those are unsuccessful attempts to access your site. You do not have to take any further action to keep them from accessing your site.
