Hi,
I have installed CleanTalk security plugin. I noticed that it is not possible to blacklist google bots. Previously I had installed Cerber Security plugin. I saw there that all SEO bots do nit only check content of my blog but also a made attempts to login, tried to guess login/ name, etc. I would like to know why CleanTalk does not allow to blacklis google bots.

Hello @galacticjoel3

We do not allow blacklist Google bots and some other crawlers as it may lead to false blockings.

Thank you.

What do you mean by “false blockings”. If I don’t want google to have access to my website, I should be able to block it.

We do not have plans to add Google bots to blacklists at the moment.

Best regards.

Maybe you could allow to add ant IP to personal black list, without exception.

We have no plans to add such an ability in the Security plugin, but you could try user filtration by user agents in the Anti-Spam plugin:

That should help you.
