Filtration mode rule

The filtration mode allows you to enable and disable the blocking of requests to various parts of a web application.

To set a filtration mode, create a Set traffic filtration mode rule and select the appropriate mode.

The filtration mode can take one of the following values:

  • Default: the system will work in accordance with the parameters specified in the NGINX configuration files.

  • Disable: the analysis and filtration of requests are disabled completely.

  • Monitorig: the requests are analyzed and displayed in the interface but they are not blocked.

  • Safe blocking: malicious requests are blocked only if they are originated from greylisted IPs.

  • Blocking: malicious requests are blocked and displayed in the interface.

To implement this rule, the NGINX configuration files must permit centralized management of the operation mode.

Example: Disabling Request Blocking During User Registration

  • new user registration is available at example.com/signup

  • it is better to overlook an attack than to lose a customer
