I’m having an issue where the Wordfence firewall is blocking traffic from the Moz crawler (rogerbot). I use Wordfence and Moz on many sites and it’s never been an issue before. The Activity Detail is below:

rogerbot/1.2 (https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-procedures/what-is-rogerbot, rogerbot-crawler+aardwolf-production-crawler-07@moz.com)
I have whitelisted the IP address, but found out that Moz does not always use the same one or even a range, so that is not a good solution. Is there a way to whitelist the rogerbot without just globally increasing the max number of requests?
Thank you for your help!
