ActiveArmor Blocking Call That Previously Would Go Through

I have a contact saved on my iPhone that I also have set as a favorite. About a week ago, calls from this contact/number started being blocked. When the person calls, it doesn't even ring on my phone. I just get a notification from the app stating the call was blocked as "Threat: Severe".

I have tried unblocking this contact/number on the app but can't seem to find a way to do so. I also confirmed that it's not blocked on my iPhone under Settings>Phone>Blocked Contacts.

I need to be able to get calls from this contact. Is there some other way I can go about unblocking this number?

Try this and let us know how it goes. We look forward to your response.
