Blocked Sources Group Firewall

kiikoo15 — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 09:41:50 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with the Automated Remediation policy on my external firewall (as seen in the SmartConsole under the "Block traffic from suspected devices" rule).

Currently, the Blocked Sources group contains two internal IP addresses that were automatically added:

No Direct Edit: Since it's an automated dynamic group, the object itself cannot be edited or modified directly within the SmartConsole.

Playblocks: I checked the Playblocks/Automation portal, but unfortunately, neither of these two internal IPs are showing up there, so I can't release them from the GUI.

Is there a way to force the removal of these specific IPs? Do I need to use the CLI on the Management Server to clear them from this dynamic feed? If so, what are the exact commands or API calls required to achieve this?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Moving this to the Playblocks forum.
Here's what a similar TAC case suggests:

In Playblocks, open the Lists page (Playblocks calls them “lists”; in SmartConsole they are Generic Data Center objects). Remove the IP/device from the relevant list that Playblocks created (e.g., Blocked Sources, Quarantine Sources, Block Destinations). Playblocks created a policy layer with rules that reference these lists (“blocking access of blocked sources,” “quarantine sources,” “block destinations”).
You can also view the same lists in SmartConsole under the Playblocks-added policy layer and remove the entry there. Playblocks updates gateways in real time through Generic Data Center objects, so once you remove the entry, enforcement is lifted without a policy install.

In Playblocks: I opened the Lists page, but the list appears completely empty. Neither of the two blocked internal IPs are visible in the Playblocks UI, so I cannot remove them from there.

In SmartConsole: If I check the Playblocks-added policy layer and inspect the specific Generic Data Center object/list, the two internal IPs are clearly listed there and actively being enforced.

Hi @kiikoo15

It sounds like the "Check Point Firewall Enforcement" connector (Previously called Quantum Enforcement) is disconnected on your side. Therefore you don't have the lists under lists page.

Possible that it was disconnected if you disconnected the management from the cloud.
