Is there a way to display it so that I can see which packets were allowed and which were dropped?

So is there a way that I can drop packets even before tcpdump can see them?

@4253wyerg4e And why do you want to drop them even before seeing them?

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~

like so
```
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>
[example](https://example.com)
<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
