What are Malware Modes

The Malware filter blocks malicious domains that can harm your device or network. There are two modes to choose from:

• Relaxed - Blocks malicious domain names that appear in various threat intelligence feeds.
• Strict - Also blocks domains that resolve to malicious IP addresses from various threat intelligence feeds.

You should always operate this Filter in Strict mode. In the future, Relaxed mode will be deprecated in favor of a more aggressive AI/ML based malware Filter we're developing in-house.
