[okfn-help] iptables on us1 blocking Googlebot

[Chris Mear]

Hi all,

We (One Click Orgs) have been trying to figure out for the last few
days why Google wasn't listing anything from our site
http://www.oneclickorgs.com/ in its results.

I had a look on the server we're on (us1.okfn.org) and it seems that
there's a couple of iptables rules in the INPUT chain that are
blocking 66.249.65.0/24 and 66.249.0.0/16, which (currently) include
(some of?) Google's web crawlers (e.g. 66.249.65.1). Hence nothing's
getting indexed.

Is this intentional?

Thanks,
Chris Mear
