Block Google QUIC protocol in default Application Control configuration (385190)

QUIC is an experimental protocol from Google. With recent Google Chrome versions (52 and above), and updated Google services, more than half of connections to Google servers are now in QUIC. This affects the accuracy of Application Control. The default configuration for Application control blocks QUIC.

Users may enable QUIC with CLI commands.

CLI Syntax

config application list edit <profile-name> set options allow-quic
