Skip google from waf rule
Hi,
We are dealing with a lot of requests from america on our website. Because of this we were forced to exclude america from our website with a waf rule. Now the problem is that Google does not go well on this, analytics doesn't work anymore and we can't measure page speed either. Is there any way to skip google?

That depends on what exactly you mean. What do you want to allow?
=> Google, the company? (Use an ASN bypass)
=> GoogleBot, the crawler? (ASN AND user agent)
=> GoogleBot "other", for their AI? (ASN AND user agent)
I would also look at the logs of requests in WAF, and see if there are patterns. Theres a good chance just a few ASNs or UAs are the source of your problems, as they were with me
