Attack Blocker FAQs

From UntangleWiki

If I have a single big machine (database, file server, print server, etc) and another smaller server. Will my big machine develop a bad reputation?

The reputation for the big machine will be higher than the small machine. In a normal deployment this should not be a concern, as the Untangle Server should not be limited in its overall resources. If slowdown under heavy load is a concern, the big machine can have its reputation calculated differently as discussed in Denial Of Service Protection.

How would one clear, or reset the reputations in Attack Blocker, say for DHCP clients?

Reputation lasts for a minute or less. Different user and/or no repeat offenses makes it pretty much automatic. - MDH
