The geth have appeared only once since the Evacuation; apart from that one incident, which is still not fully understood, they stay behind the Perseus Veil and don't bother anybody.

The United Galactica declared the Veil a no-fly zone after the Migrant Fleet emerged; since the Quarian Hegemony wasn't a member, the UG Assembly felt no particular obligation to send in the Navy to investigate, and by the time the UG fell and was replaced by the Federation, what remained of the quarian government wasn't in a position to join, much less insist on action so many decades after the fact. The WDF might have been willing to have a look, but, as we have already heard back in Star-Crossed, the Admiralty snubbed them pretty hard when they crossed paths in 2184.

(In that one incident, back in the early 2280s, a large geth fleet appeared seemingly from nowhere and attacked Salusia, of all places. The WDF and RSN made fairly short work of them and they haven't been seen since. To this day, nobody really knows what they were trying to accomplish.)

Oops, failed dependency. I moved one of those items at some point and didn't account for the difference. That happens sometimes with projects that sprawl about a bit, like this one, with a lot of markup and whatnot to keep track of in addition to the detailed timeline to track. Thanks for catching it.
