Configure Intrusion AutoBlock to allow access for blocked computers

Norton AutoBlock stops all traffic between a device in your network and any other computer that attempts to exploit that device. Since this includes traffic that may not be malicious, AutoBlock only stops the connection for a limited time after it detects a threat. You can specify the period for which you want your Norton product to block the connections from attacking computers. By default, your Norton product blocks all traffic between your computer and the attacking computer for a period of 30 minutes.

If Norton Firewall stops network traffic to a computer that you know is safe, you can restore connections to the computer by removing it from the AutoBlock list in Norton Firewall settings.

You can permanently block a computer that Norton AutoBlock temporarily blocks if you think the computer is always a threat and that you never need to access it. The permanently blocked computer is removed from the AutoBlock list and added to the list of restricted devices.

Unblock computer that is blocked by AutoBlock

1. Under Computers currently blocked by AutoBlock section, select the IP address of the computer.

2. Under the Action column, select Unblock from the drop-down list.
