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 🫣

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.
