Note: These rules affect only unencrypted traffic types. If you are using a FortiGate unit
able to decrypt and examine encrypted traffic, you can enable those traffic types in these
rules to extend their functionality if required.
Caution: Before use, examine the rules closely to ensure you understand how they will
affect the traffic on your network.
