Manual IP block

    Hi,

    I wanted to test something a few minutes ago and i manually blocked my IP. Then i got the shield block page telling me that the block will last 24 hours.

    That is not correct since manual block is permanent. Rebooting my router and logging in, i saw that the block was permanent.

    So some wrong information is provided in the block page.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    This is because you are blocking your own IP.

    When you manually block your own IP, instead of permanent block, Shield will apply automatic blocking rules on it, trying to prevent accidentally permanently blocking yourself.

    If you try to manually block any other IP, you’ll see that it’s permanently blocked instantly.

    Hope this helps.

    Nope, in the logs it says PERMANENTLY.
