First, without knowing what rules you created there is little way to be
sure what you have blocking for what reason.
Normally, the inbound connections only get blocked for a couple reasons:
1) No rule permitting inbound access
2) Malformed packets
3) Attack detected, IP blocked for 20 minutes automatically
4) Source IP part of hard block list
I've got a LOT of watchguard firewalls in service all over the country,
what Model and what firmware are you using?
