Hello,

Hmm which GUI do you recommend?

I dont use auto blocking because to many false positives can block
internal IPs which can have bed results. I just wanted to look into it.
 I was more interested with a firewall that had a centralized block list
so that when I update one it updates all versus manually going through
and adjusting all the firewalls.

Thanks for the help:)
