Why does OPNsense allow google bots to ignore blocks

I've found googleuserbots that I add to my block list, but they simply ignore it and keep coming back. I've picked up several other IP addresses that simply ignore blocks and keep popping up. How is this possible? Does OPNsense allow certain IP addresses unconditional access?

Like these

What block list? DNS? What interface?
Can you give us a little bit more information.
