I think they're may be a conflict with this mod and Google's new PageSpeed service, which we've just started to use.... :confused:

We keep getting lots of members complaining of timeouts (blocking?) when they attempt to access our site, which is I believe when Google's caching severs attempt to redirect users to our site. There are hundreds of whois "f1182195" entries in our logs.

They all originate from Google's PageSpeed caching servers with IP addresses in this range 173.194.xx.xx.

Note: I put the xxx's in the above quote for privacy.

How can I address this, short of turning OFF and not using Bad Behavior? Can I whitelist the range of server IP's and what would be the correct line to add to the whitelist.ini file?

Thanks for any help... :)

Regards,
Doug

Can some explain to me what this entry in whitelist.ini will allow and not allow as far as IP addresses, to access our site?

I'm trying to understand the .0.0 meaning... does that act as a wildcard so any number in there makes that a vaild entry to be able to access our site?

Thanks.. :)

Regards,'Doug


; Extra GOOGLE ranges
ip[] = "74.125.0.0/99"
ip[] = "216.239.32.0/19"
ip[] = "209.85.128.0/17"
ip[] = "66.102.0.0/20"

the developer hasnt updated them, there are about 3 more ranges
he needs to use, which i put into the whitelist.ini myself

current issues with 1.0.10
the following varnames are not set as integer

Keen to download and impliment this as soon as the latest version is available. Just removed another product that was treating GoogleBots as a log referer spammers, and the log file it generated on log file spammers was viewable publicily, so this other mod was actually causing log referer spammers to target my site!!

So please hurry and release the new version Eric

Last month we started getting lots of 403 errors from Google. I can't say I've done a lot of research, but the only thing I remember changing last month was updating this mod (Oct. 19 judging from my posts).

A quick web search pointed to earlier versions of BB causing this, so Saturday evening I disabled this mod and will be keeping an eye on Google webmaster tools to see if the error continues.

thats what i told they guy too but hes not bother about that, googlebot can activity crawl a website unless you change the settings in google webmater tools, the other day i limited to about 5 visits

Oh dear, and I was so hopefuly this mod would be good, as I had to remove another product for labelling Googlebot as a referer spammer and creating a referal spam hole in my site.

ok well you still dont understand then this product, and my product both use the projecthoneypot API so if its more than 1 product identifiying the same issue

then my guess as i said before it projectshoneypot not our mods

I too installed a honeypot way back when I first installed this mod. But I haven't done anything to change it since. So unless last month's BB update affected it, I'm not sure I can blame the honeypot. But I guess I'm going to have to look up the uninstallation instructions just in case.

edit: Turning off Honey Pot was as simple as going to the dashboard on their site and clicking the link. I also deleted the one html page in my html root that I had put there for them. However, it was not the page giving me 403 errors.

I also checked Google Webmaster tools and there was only a single bad gateway error listed since I turned off BB Saturday. No 403 errors.
