Problem : googlebot is blocked

Hi,

Can you give the User Agent if you have access to the raw http logs?:

Something like this:

“Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +https://www.google.com/bot.html)”

Google tells me this is blocking their bots, I am trying to get more details to post here.

Can you detail a bit of how you determine and allow a google bot even if the country it comes from is blocked?

Thanks

So far google will not tell me where the problem blocks are coming form but say their policy requires that a site is available everywhere, and they insist that I remove any location based blocking.

Google will not provide details, just that any geo blocking is not permitted.
