Description
We are seeing the attached alert on our two Macs which are running a VPN (IVPN.net). On my wife's computer she may have multiple pop-ups appear sequentially which I have not personally experienced.
I have found a single rule related to IVPN which is allowed. I understand that clicking "Allow" in an alert is not saved between System and BlockBlock reboots, which I assume is the reason why the "temporarily" checkbox is greyed-out. (And why the rule is allowed when I look it up.)
Why can't I allow the script to run permanently since it is from a trusted app that I installed? I've read the documentation a couple times but I haven't found an answer (or understand if one does exist).
At this point we will have to forgo using the Notarization Mode until we have a resolution.
Many thanks- GV

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Notarization Mode alert on macOS with the IVPN VPN installed, using the screenshot and the existing BlockBlock documentation as the initial references. Trace how the allowed rule and the disabled temporary checkbox are handled; done means determining whether permanent approval is supported and documenting or correcting the behavior.
