 Im getting MUA rejecting from this ip block

104.154.0.0/15

This is google .. Not sure if it is search or crawling pages but over the last two days I have had server not found in webmaster tools.
I cant find where to add this block to a white list, the only white list I can see is Admin ..

Mike,

Adding the IPs to the "never block" list should allow them through the Web Application Firewall. Where are you seeing the block, in the Security Exceptions Log? If the IPs are being blocked through .htaccess, we need to fix it there, not in WAF.

Thank you Dale,
Found it in one of the setup pages. Am I ok entering 104.154.0.0/15 in there to allow the whole range?
I was getting the block (MUA) in Admin tools so the fix above should do it..

Before I do though, I want to do a bit of research into the IP range. It appears to be something to do with Google Cloud which is a service that google runs for file upload/download. Someone may have written a script to run malware on googles cloud. So I will check this with Google.

I'm a little weak in IP ranges, I think that's right. Yes, you should check that with Google, paranoia is your friend.
