What is the issue you’re encountering

I created a rule to block all traffic not coming from Spain, because I was receiving a lot of it from the USA, Russia and India. I also created another rule where I supposedly allow access to Google bots, but it’s not working and I can’t fix it. What rule should I create to allow access to all Google bots?

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Rules that I created: Screenshot by Lightshot
First rule, allow Google: Screenshot by Lightshot
Second rule, countries block: Screenshot by Lightshot

Can you check https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/events and post a screenshot of an event wehere Google was blocked from accessing your site?

It seems that nothing is blocking google, but from the httpstatus.io website it gives me a 403, and that is just reflected here: Screenshot by Lightshot

This is 403 error in httstatus: Screenshot by Lightshot

As I see, Google Bot is allowed to access: Screenshot by Lightshot

I’ll take a look these days to see if the website is indexed again, because it was deindexed when the countries were blocked at the beginning.
