LOOOOOL. As if by magic you can make them private!!!!PBN means to be Private Blog Network , which mean it back links should not be appears to someone else your competition etc .
if you PBN success hide it link from Ahreaf that mean your network are working very well .
because ahrefs is not a multibillion dollar company with the resources and datacenters to create crawler the size of googles...
LOOOOOL. As if by magic you can make them private!!!!
I agree with what you are saying but OP's should appear in ahrefs because he hasn't took any precautions to stop it.
They are indexed though, i can find them in google.

I had experience once blocking all creepy crawlers for an new website , I manged to block most of them Via user Agent block except majestic they were the most wily since they even uses G user agent if they discover you block their , that's why I block their IP range instead .Others argue that could leave a footprint, or simply that if you're building your PBN sites properly it won't really make that much difference whether your competition sees it or not - at least not any more than any of the other links they can see.

You basically just explained what I said in full, I couldn't be bothered rewriting something that has been said 1000X on this forumWell, he could have made it not show up in ahrefs by blocking the crawler. Many people argue you should block crawlers from ahrefs, majestic, etc so your links are more private and your competition can't see what you're doing. Others argue that could leave a footprint, or simply that if you're building your PBN sites properly it won't really make that much difference whether your competition sees it or not - at least not any more than any of the other links they can see.
People have a lot of different strategies and techniques with PBNs and each strategy will have people on both saids saying whether it is better to do it or not to do it.
That said, it doesn't sound like OP blocked the crawlers, so the reason would most likely be Ahref's just hasn't gotten there yet since they're not as robust as Google's spiders.
But whether Ahref's shows it or not has absolutely ZERO bearing on where you rank in Google.

Claims being the operational word here!Ahrefs claims it has 1/3 of google bot's capacity.
Don't ever try to serve different page for Google , I tried once(white-list G-bot IP list ) and immediately I got manual action , if you don't know G owns some ISP's around the world .but it seems like if set up properly Google wouldn't have any way of knowing you were serving different content to ahrefs, majestic, moz, etc and the non-Google crawlers wouldn't have any idea that they had been "blocked" because they actually received a normal looking page they just don't see the links to your site.
