 * Hello,
 * I have enabled the option “**Verified Google crawlers have unlimited access to
   this site**” but i noticed that wordfence blocked several IP that belond to googleusercontent.
   com . I have the latest wordfence version.
 * 1) How can i enable full access to googleusercontent.com ?
    It is difficult to
   whitelist all ip’s
 * Here are a few:
    104.197.25.14 104.197.26.26 104.197.27.56 104.197.29.138 104.197.37.9
   104.197.73.54 104.197.80.136 104.197.92.37 104.197.101.112 104.197.149.110 Thanks

 * Thanks for the report. I have sent this on to the dev team to evaluate, with 
   reference number FB1142.
 * In the meantime, when these IPs get blocked, what do you see listed as the reason
   they were blocked? The firewall options on your site could be too strict, and
   they could be blocking other crawlers as well. Some of the other crawlers may
   be less important than Google, but could still be relevant to your site — I can
   help you choose which settings to adjust, if needed.

 * Hello Matt,
 * For googleusercontent.com, the reason is: Fake Google crawler automatically blocked
   with 0 hits before blocked
 * Thanks again

 * Ok, for now, just disable “Immediately block fake Google crawlers” in the Firewall
   Rules section of the options page. The dev team is checking into this.
 * We have had a couple similar reports lately, but all with Googlebot (which seems
   to be a DNS issue), but not googleusercontent.com — I’m not sure if the issues
   are related.
