Locking yourself out of a system remotely is a time honored tradition. You might be doing it with caching instead of IP tables, but you're still in good company.

    I worked somewhere once where we were literally locked out of a system - the door control computer stopped responding and we couldn't get into the room it was in to reboot it, because of course it controlled that door.

    Didn't something similar also happened to Facebook not to long ago?

    I don't figure enough with the network setup to have gotten locked out like that, but i have managed to run a shutdown when i meant to do a reboot, one time it was on a well integrated embedded device without an external power switch, so they had to power cycle a big part of the system to get it back online 🫣
