For Workes & Pages, what is the name of the domain?

What is the error number?

error 403

What is the error message?

blocking error 403

What is the isssue or error you’re encountering

I notice that when I activate under attack mode; my google search console blocks the reading of my product sheet, blocking error 403. By deactivating the under attack mode my google search console easily reads and indexes my page. Has anyone used a rule to unblock this situation?

Hi there,

Under attack should be used when you’re actively under attack while trying to figure out the next course of action to mitigate any potential bad actors that might still be reaching your origin, otherwise it’s better to leave it as Medium or High

If you prefer to have a rule that still challenges everybody like UAM does, then I would opt to create a custom WAF rule like this one for instance:

This rule will challenge everyone except if it’s a known bot.

Take care.
