Set up a rule to DROP traffic instead of blocking traffic

I want to set up firewall rules that simply drop traffic from the internet rather than block the traffic.  Is this possible?  I only see options for Allow and Block in the app.

Thanks

  I'd like to second this addition.  I'd prefer to not send any responses back, but just silently ignore them.

  Does Firewalla have the ability to reject as well?

  The upcoming patch to 1.971 will by default use drop instead of reject on any incoming connections, and there will be a guide on how to force using reject.

  As a general rule, I use block/drop on external facing interfaces, and reject on interior facing interfaces.

  Using that as the default, with the option to flip a rule between reject and drop would be nice.
