After right clicking a peer in the Peers tab and clicking "Ban peer permenantly", is there a way to unban that peer?

You have to edit qBT's configuration file.
It's a pain to do.
Did you read qBT's FAQ on how?

Thank you. I had looked over the FAQ but must have glanced over that portion. I found it in the qBittorrent.ini under Preferences/IPFilter.

Thanks again.

Can someone please tell me in a little more detail how to unban peers? I am not sure if I am savvy enough to know how to edit a config file on my own. My friend was messing around and banned a ton of peers. Let's just say that didn't produce good results. Thank you!

If question still actual: qBittorrent config file is named qBittorrent.conf and located in %APPDATA%\qBittorrent (Windows) or ~/.config/qBittorrent (Linux).
You should open it by text editor and find line started by IPFilter\BannedIPs=... - here is list of banned ips
