Hello,

I already had checked those resources but in none of them I saw how to change in all the rules from alert to drop action, something needed as far as I understand to really block even if it is working in blocking mode; I mean, if I enable blocking mode but the rules are in alert action, no block will happen at the end.

Also, note that I am not starting with blocking, I have been working with alerts for months to ensure the behaviour.

Thanks!
