Solution:

The reason for this message is due to the incorrect username and password being attempted too many times, resulting in the firewall blocking the source from connecting to the VPN.


If on a supported version (v7.2.6+, v7.4.1+, v7.6.0+), it is possible to view this blocklist and remove the IP from it.
