Description of my issue:
Using the web firewall's site IP Blacklist menu I manually entered a single IP 68.108.72.179 at 4:00PM PST. Since then this IP had hit the web site 40 times. I am not sure any of the blacklisted IP's are being blocked.

Yo further verify using vnc I logged into a remote computer, got it's wan address by using what is my ip address, then placed that address in the black list, and I can still surf the site.

Please advise.

Go to the Configure WAF page and set "Disallow site access to IPs in Blacklist" to Yes :)
