If you select Prompt from the drop-down box the Notification bar will appear to allow control over questionable content accessed over any restricted protocols; content over other protocols is unaffected. If you disable this policy setting all attempts to access such content over the restricted protocols is blocked. If you do not configure this policy setting the Notification bar will appear to allow control over questionable content accessed over any restricted protocols when the Network Protocol Lockdown security feature is enabled.
