So each time you get blocked, it will raise your bot score up for that network and device. The higher the bot score, the more detailed the checks and the more likely you'll be blocked from those checks. If people are behaving normally it will lower the bot score for that network.
Once your bot score for a network passes the high threshold, it will just block that network (IP address). And once your bot score passes a high threshold for a certain device, that device's fingerprint will be blocked.
Like using 'curl' to access the website or running it through an change detector will be instantly blocked as the fingerprint will be over the high threshold. And if you're on a big uni network, people are being normal but one person is hammering it, it might result in increased checks
