What it means ​

The request matched a firewall rule for known attack patterns or came from an address with a poor reputation. Message content is not judged here: SOM messages are checked by the gateway.

How to fix it ​

Send ordinary requests from a well-behaved client. If a legitimate request is refused, ask RND, with the time of the request.


Branch on the rule id, never on the violation's message text. All rules: rule catalogue.
