Fail2ban on your SME server might cause this.  It took me a while to get fail2ban->IgnoreIP set correctly.

You could also search the Firehol blocklist-ipset github repo for your SME server's WAN IP address to see if you've been listed in any firewall-level blocklists.  Search for your full IP, then search for the first 3 octets (then 2, then 1) in case you're listed as part of a netblock.  Put quotes around your search string to keep Github from returning every entry containing any of your octets...

Thank you for the suggestion. We added the IP addresses used by our client to the fail2ban whitelist. Hopefully that will help.

I looked through the Firehol blacklist, or at least some it. It appears to be quite extensive.
