Hi,
This isn’t possible with the free version of the plugin.
The premium version includes a country blocking module which allows you to block entire countries and also whitelist sets of IP addresses.
So you could block all traffic from the USA but whitelist the IPs of Google Bots.
Best Wishes,

I had bought the premium version and that’s the question I was asking myself. There are many IP addresses for Googlebot. Is there a possibility to include in the whitelist or in a file a way that allows Google to crawl while blocking the USA?
Hi,
Sorry about the delay.
Right now theres no way to easily add this list into the whitelist, I will add a task to our development list to investigate the best way to add this.
But for now I’ve put all these IPs into a text file for you, just open it and copy and paste the contents into the whitelist field in the plugin.
File is found here:

Thanks for your file.
Oops…IPs beginning with “34” and “66” indicate: “not a valid IP address format”
Waiting for a solution for these IPs please.
Indeed, I think it would be a good idea if we could ban certain countries while whitelisting the various web crawlers.
Cordially
