First of all you are running Suricata 6.0 which is EOL, so upgrade to Suricata 7.0 first.

You are running in AF\_PACKET mode but you have just one interface set in the af-packet section. Follow this guide for IPS mode with AF\_PACKET: [15. Setting up IPS/inline for Linux — Suricata 7.0.7 documentation](https://docs.suricata.io/en/suricata-7.0.7/setting-up-ipsinline-for-linux.html#af-packet-ips-mode)
