Not gonna say I dont trust Zenarmor updates.. but if I have my network and selected the correct devices as trusted and afterwards ill turn on block connection for all untrusted devices.
What is best practise to make sure that if Zenarmor somehow clears the Trusted list, I still have a way into my router outside of physically connecting a screen to it :P

Hi,

This is not the expected behavior, but Zenarmor excludes the firewall itself from any blocking rules. Even if your PC is blocked by a policy, you can still access the OPNsense UI or manage your policies through the Zenconsole (Cloud Management Portal) if Zenarmor is registered there.

Ah, thank you for the confirmation.
Can't hurt to be sure even if nothing will ever happen so its simply good to hear that I can't fully lock myself out :D
