Hi,

We get a 403 in webmastertools and the sitemap is not accessible. 403 http://www.botsimulator.com/ says > This request is blocked by Admin Tools. Please change this message in the component's options.

We have the same settings as on other sites on the same server and they have no problem.

What setting could be wrong?

Hello Nickolas,

Found it. If you have North America blocked in Geo Blocking it will result in 403 in webmastertools and a total removal of the site in the index. You should exclude authorized bots if you want to Geo block North America or remove that option.

Regards,
Raoul

Hello,

that's the expected behavior. Geo Block runs before any other feature, that's why you can't exclude search bots.
For what is worth, Geo Block is not a very effective measure to block attacks, since it's quite easy to spoof or to fake your own IP.
