Hi, just received my Gold. I’ve to say it’s very easy to set up and use. Great job! Anyway, I was fiddling with the new rules and I noticed by default there is already a Block All Traffic from Internet for All Devices rule created. Is that normal? I’m just surprised to see it there and wondering how that is different from the Active Protect rule.

  The Gold when in router mode is a true inline device.  So ... what you see the "block all traffic from internet rule" is really an ingress stateful firewall.   Meaning, it will block all connections from outside to inside ... but will not block connections initiated from inside.   It is best to leave this on.
