How passive block works?

does PASSIVE blocking with a shield works from all sides, or only from front side? I know that active block works only from front side, but how about passive?
I tried to test, but animation is weird and I don't have an answer yet.

From all sides.
Looks like that wasn't the case before today.

Passive Block chance now applies to blockable hits from all directions, as opposed to just hits from in front.
And this is even under "General Improvements and Changes" section which means front-only passive block was by design in PoE2.
