Does Sensei use the 'Default Deny Rule'?

I am so perplexed. My OPNSense logs show a bunch of traffic originating from LAN to the Internet blocked by the firewall's 'Default deny rule'. But the vast majority of the traffic flows just fine. I spent hours on the firewall rules trying to make sense of it. No explanation. 

The only reasonable explanation I have, which is what I want to validate here, is that when Sensei decides to block something, it invokes this firewall rule to do it. Is that the case?

  Hi Lou,

  Sensei does not rely on external blocking mechanisms to do filtering. I think it should be something else. 

  One quick test: does this happen when you have sensei off or in bypass mode?
