Firewall Block: Drop or Reject

Question

Hi, 
 Could you tell me when I create a Global rule to block something, is the packet gets Dropped or Rejected? 
 Thanks

Hello Gabor Kabacs , 
 you are talking about the Sophos Client Firewall, SCF? And I assume you are talking about inbound packets? Packets are usually dropped for a simple reason: Consider a rule that blocks connections from a certain address or address range with the intention of "hiding" one or more endpoints. Returning a control message (there's no reject ) would reveal the existence of the endpoints. 
 May I ask why you want to know, do you have a specific scenario in mind?
