Did you also modify the [allstar-public] context for web portal (web
transceiver) users as described at the bottom of the blacklist/whitelist
instructions page? Alternatively, you could try disabling web transceiver
access for your node number in allstarlink.org node settings.

As far as I know, any ham with an authenticated allstarlink.org login
account can use the web transceiver mode via apps like DVSwitch (Android
app) or Tranceive (Mac app). They will connect with their call sign as
registered with Allstar, instead of an assigned allstar node number. Node
owners can enable or disable web transceive access to their nodes via
allstarlink.org settings.
