Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm bothered by the fact that there is no option to just default 'ignore' or 'drop' a request when there is no set rule found.

Describe the solution you'd like

If you select the option to just ignore any unmatched request (no host/rule found) that it will not give any indication that the request has been handled (so the browser will timeout), this could lead attackers astray.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using basic iptables rules to ignore the request but in combination with Docker its really hard to overwrite/create custom redirection rules since docker will overwrite them whenever you start the container.

Additional context

None
