The Paranoid mode


This feature is available with Artica v2.17.080501 or above.
The paranoid mode is designed to reduce web error page processing caused by flooder clients.
If a computer is infected by a malware that want to access to Internet or if a client use an application denied by a policy, background generated requests should consume proxy performance ( requests processing, web page error generation).
The paranoid mode is designed to deny client access to Internet or deny web sites using a static web error page without any processing.
