Hello,
I noticed that Crowdsec is repeatedly blocking legitimate traffic from Googlebot (from IP address 66.249.64.165), which is negatively affecting our SEO. This IP is confirmed to be part of Google’s crawler range.
This is my crowdsec version and other details:
version: v1.6.8-debian-pragmatic-amd64-f209766e
Codename: alphaga
BuildDate: 2025-03-25_14:48:27
GoVersion: 1.24.1
Platform: linux
libre2: C++
User-Agent: crowdsec/v1.6.8-debian-pragmatic-amd64-f209766e-linux
can you guys kindly help me? Is there a known issue with false positives related to Googlebot?
Is this normal? what do I need to do?
Kind regards
