    In which file is the list of IP Googlebots fake? I would like to check that it does not block the real ip google bot.
    Please, in which files are these IP lists?

    Hi
    There is no list.
    The plugin has code in which it checks the useragent and the IP address and then it will get the internet hostname using the IP address. After that it will do a reverse IP lookup using the internet hostname calculated in the previous step. If the IPs match then the bot is considered legitimate.

    I wonder if in your case the initial IP address being calculated is the address of a load-balancer or proxy of your hosting setup?
    NOTE: There are now some new settings in the AIOWPS where you can change how this plugin retrieves the visitor IP address. See the Settings >> Advanced settings page.

    Ok, thanks for the explanation, I wanted to check before choosing which security plugin to use for my next project. I would like to use aws from amazon, but I have not yet chosen a specific plan, your information will help me to choose better. Thanks and good job.
