Utilizing CSF to block all bots while allowing an exception for Google bots

[admiral5040]

Hello everyone,

I'm inquiring about the possibility of utilizing CSF to block all bots while allowing an exception for Google bots. Google has kindly provided us with a list of whitelisted IPs at the following links:

Googlebot IPs: https://developers.google.com/static/se ... lebot.json
Special Crawlers IPs: https://developers.google.com/static/se ... wlers.json
User-Triggered Fetchers IPs: https://developers.google.com/static/se ... chers.json
Google IPs: https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/goog.json
I've attempted to research this on various forums but haven't been able to find a solution. Most resources seem to focus on blocking specific IPs rather than implementing an exclusion for Google bots. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
