Description

if you set a rule to reject, firewall log shows just the normal X for block, action block. It does send the reject via icmp. But it is only logged as block action. No little reject hand.

Tested in CE 2.8.1, it this still shows reject in the firewall log with the little reject hand symbol vs just red x block icon.

See attached images from 25.11 and then in 2.8.1

1 in the attachment is from 25.11, 2 is from 2.8.1
