There is a setting in ‘Defender > Firewall > IP Banning > Locations’ to “ban countries you don’t expect/want traffic from to protect your site from unwanted hackers and bots in a specific location.”
I am interested in this but I wonder if this will block bots found in the allow list at Defender > Firewall > User Agent Banning > User Agents > Allow List.
My concern is that by banning countries, Google Bots from those countries may not be able to access the site.
Can you confirm if this is the case or not?
