        It depends on where they were blocked. There are two tables in pfSense that can get IPs in them from different triggers, but it's pretty rare, and they are periodically purged.

        If you want to check, run the following from Diagnostics > Command.

        pfctl -T show -t sshlockout
        
        pfctl -T show -t virusprot
        

        If they are empty, that is not your problem.

        If you see an entry, you can delete it with -T delete <ip>or just flush it completely:

        pfctl -T flush -t sshlockout
        ```</ip>
