Operate Zenarmor in "Layer 2" mode with Transparent Bridge?

[TheFNGee]

I got my OPNSense/Protectli combination functioning as a transparent bridge. Since a doc from Zenarmor was very helpful in getting this going, I decided I'd check out Zenarmor Free. It's been running for a week or so, and I checked out the Zenarmor dashboard. It told me that out of over 400 detected possibly harmful activities, it blocked none of them. I was surprised and wondered if I'd misconfigured Zenarmor. I went to check out policies, and being the "Free" version, I could not add a policy beyond the default. 

I then subscribed to the "Home" version. It's cheap enough, and the more protection, the better. I went to the "Settings" page and saw that it was operating in Layer 3 mode.  With my limited networking knowhow, I wondered if I shouldn't be running in "Layer 2" mode since the whole thing is a bridge.  When I tried to set it to "Layer 2" mode, it kept popping up an error.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, if it even IS an issue. 

The whole page looks like this

Thanks,

Hi,

This is because none of the more than 400 malicious activities detected are blocked in your policies.
All you have to do is enable blocking in your policies.

I also recommend that you remove the "WAN" tag on your MGMTLAN interface.

The recommended deployment mode is generally to use L3 Routed with emulated netmap driver mode. Of course, you can make changes according to your network and system.
You can take a look at the document below to examine the deployment mode in detail.
