Hi,

 

First of all, the total execution is reset when you update the irule or when you press reset to do it manually. The counter increment only when there is an action triggered on the event. Are you sure that both tests are the same and trigger the same workflow on the HTTP_REQUEST event ?

As long as, your requests are RFC compliant to HTTP, requests should trigger the HTTP_EVENT. But in your case, I think that the counter increase only if you trigger "virtual BlockedIP"
