Hi everyone, I’m currently under an HTTP-based DDoS attack, but I don’t want to block any search engine crawlers.
Should I enable this setting, or leave it as default as shown in the image?
Thanks in advance.

The short answer is yes turn it on,. Cloudflare’s "Known Bots" list is actually designed to protect things like Google Search, Bing, and Apple so it shouldnt block those as those are verified bots To ensure didnt block the "good" ones check your Security > Events tab after turning it on. If you don’t see legitimate Google IPs being blocked if you do turn it back off
