After an install, how can I test that ThreatSTOP is working?

There are 5 specific functions that can be tested to make sure that the ThreatSTOP solution is working properly: 

1. Does your system pull IPs from our database
2. Are the IPs applied to firewall rules
3. Do the blocked IPs get logged
4. Can the logs be uploaded to our database.
5. Can 1-4 be done automatically
