Custom WAF rule to allow only specific country and google's indexing robots
If I set a WAF rule to allow access to my site only for users from a specific country, does that mean I am essentially blocking Googlebot from indexing my site and ruining my SEO? Is it possible to add indexing bots as exceptions? Or can Googlebot handle Cloudflare challenges on its own?

You can use the Known Bots Field in your rule to allow verified bots through, which are a list of verified/known good bots including google bot: https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/verified-bots
