Still at lowest end of learning curve and have found that I am getting 80+ firewall violations reported daily and 0 prevention statistics.
I am very concerned that I have something wrong with my protection and seek help in identifying where to look and how to fix please.
Budge.
I don't really understand what you are asking about/concerned about. Are you seeing IPS violations, dropped destination/source hosts and thinking this is an issue? Is it web traffic being blocked/reported?
Can you copy/paste the log in which you are referring, and/or click and drag a screenshot into the reply window so we can see what you are specifically referring to?

Hi and thanks for the reply.
The screenshot is what is worrying me and I have no idea where the problem lies.
I can copy and past log but I shall need some guidance on which log please
Firewall-violations are ok.
Here are all packets counted, you don't allow passing the firewall.
Even if you use an "any - any - any" rule you will see/count dropped packets. These may be broadcasts or packets directed to interface-IP of the firewall.
if your services are available .. without problems ... you can ignore the dropped packets / Firewall-violations (we have multiple hundred per minute at the company)
You can open the firewall-live-log and take a look to the allowed/dropped packets. You may post these logs if there are questions.
PS: IPS-violations = 0 is good too.

This is normal and showing you the UTM is doing its job.
Many thanks to both Dirk and Amodin for putting my mind at rest.
I do had one minor problem with the second WAN connection as the configuration options which Dirk linked me to are not quite as I find on the UTM.
Rather than set the second WAN connection as a fallback if my main connection fails I have set the percentage 90% to 10% between primary and secondary connection and will see how I get on. May need to tweak a bit.
Meanwhile my thanks to all,
