Blocking port scans

I have enabled the ruleset 'emerging-scan.rules' in intrusion detection, I get a few blocked as screenshot (I assume they are blocked scans) but when I scan my ip address with https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/tcp-port-scanner-online-nmap# the open ports show up.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Suricata only blocks script enumerations if it sees nmap/zmap user agent.

It won't block syn scans. Relying on security through obscurity doesn't help anyway.

Thank you
