Legit Google IPs Being Blocked By FireHol Abusers d1 about firehol HOT 5 OPEN

Could you please clarify what you mean with Google API, or which API would need access to your server?

These 2 IP addresses don't seem to be in this list: https://developers.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/googlebot.json
But this is for Googlebot, not Google API.

Please stop denying/blocking legitimate business processes.

I'm not a maintainer of this repo, btw.
I was asking because I'm also looking to implement these lists in my firewall and saw your report here so I was trying to understand if this could be a case that could be affecting me too.

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully the maintainers will look into it.

Do you know if Google provides their range of IP addresses used for *.googleapis.com ?
I couldn't find a list.

If there's a way to identify those ranges, then we could simply whitelist them.

Cheers!

Hi, just a reminder - those firehol blacklists are a compilation of different blacklist providers -
if You take a look at the header of firehol_abusers_1d.netset you'll see a list of the used lists:

# An ipset made from blocklists that track abusers in the 
# last 24 hours. (includes: botscout_1d cleantalk_new_1d 
# cleantalk_updated_1d php_commenters_1d php_dictionary_1d 
# php_harvesters_1d php_spammers_1d stopforumspam_1d)

so You may search those lists for the faulty address and then complain about this address to the responsible provider
or You disable this firehol compilation list and only enable the working lists individually....
