Under "Server Management" / "Security" / "APF" in the "Whitelist" tab
you might want to enter some lines that prevent your IP from being blocked.

Say your IP is 7.7.7.7 Then you should enter this line:

s=7.7.7.7/32

That will make sure that the source IP 7.7.7.7 is never blocked by APF.

You could also use a syntax like this:

tcp:in:d=22:s=7.7.7.7/32
tcp:in:d=81:s=7.7.7.7/32
tcp:in:d=444:s=7.7.7.7/32

That will make sure that your IP is always able to access the ports 22,
81 and 444.
