Security
A security option will encode selected data. This will increase security and compatability with Microsoft WAF rules and CloudFlare settings. It will add a small overhead performance cost to each request, which in most cases are not noticable.
<EnableSecureJson>true</EnableSecureJson>Limit site access per url
It is possible to limit which sites can be accessed per url. The default setting is that all sites are accessible on all URLs.
