Allow search engines even though country is blocked by geolocation block
Hi! We have an issue where site disappear in search engines. We are forced to use geo based country blocking in ASM policy due to compliance. As side effect, we also block important search engine bots. It will be too cumbersome to whitelist all ip ranges used by these. There is a list of bot signatures including search engines in the ASM ddos profile settings. Is there any way to write an iRule that utilize this list and bypass the geolocation blocking? "This applies to Bot Signatures configured for blocking or reporting, and including Search Engines. Syntax BOTDEFENSE::reason" We cannot trust the user agent string since that can be manipulated by anyone. Reverse DNS lookup (and forward to verify) take a lot of network resources. Is there an easy way (iRule?) to bypas the geo blocking based on this list without using unnecessary resources? We are on version 12.1.2. Many thanks in advance.
