Firewall rule does not seem to stop incoming packets

I’ve created a firewall rule to stop all traffic on all protocols from all countries except one.

However when I look at my VMs network stats, the chart titled “Firewall incoming packets denied” shows less than one packet stopped per second.

This is during a DDOS attack with millions of hits per second from around the world.

How come the firewall does not stop 99% of these, if 99% of all countries are blocked?
