Ability to disable home-net filtering on sensor appliances
ABILITY TO DISABLE HOME-NET FILTERING ON SENSOR APPLIANCES
Sensor appliances default to using the home network configuration of the appliance to filter out from processing expensive events happening outside of the home network range. For instance, a file transfer happening between endpoints that are both outside the defined home network would not be analysed.
