apf blocking allowed IP's

| APF firewall is blocking IP's from the allowed range
I have this inserted in /etc/apf/allowed_hosts.rules and restarted APF of course
67.79.221.0/24
70.112.124.0/24
70.113.54.0/24
It still blocked this IP for example, 67.79.221.154
Anyone know why?

| Did you clear the deny_hosts file first before you added the allowed ones, then restart the firewall?

| Yes I did. Not sure why its still temporarily (10 minutes) blocking the IP

| Maybe check to see if you have a script running to add them to the deny list, but i'm not really sure I use iptables.
Some particular scripts wouldn't check that allow list and would just simply add them.

| Yeah check your cronjobs, there could be another shell script or something still adding them. I have a DDoS script that works with APF and adds IPs to the deny_list but only after checking the allow list - others may not.
