Remove throttled IP

Can i directly modify the DB?

Hi,
You just need to re-adjust the rate limiting rule value that throttled this IP so it doesn’t get throttled again.

Thanks.

I changed the value and i also set “verified google crawlers have unlimited access” (it was a google crawler) but the throttling rule is still there after three days. I have a 2 hour blocking at most.

Sorry but what do you mean by “the throttling rule is still there”? please share a screenshot showing “Wordfence > Blocking => Blocked IPs => IPs throttled for accessing the site too frequently” showing this IP.

Thanks.

There they are.

So, it seems you set aggressive settings for “If a crawler’s page views exceed” rule 2 days ago, then when you adjusted its value, everything is working fine now, no Google crawlers IPs are getting throttled for more than 2 days.

Also, for “If a crawler’s pages not found (404s) exceed” rule, it seems that since yesterday this rule doesn’t throttle any Google crawler IP.

You can keep watching this page and re-adjust the rate limiting rules if needed.

Thanks.

Ok i get it now, these are NOT currently in effect! It’s some kind of log. I think you should somewhat clarify this in the page then. Thank you for your prompt support.
