Native support for file blocking based on file extensions does not require a connection to any external FPolicy server. This is slower as the FPolicy server needs to access the data in the file. When the FPolicy server is notified of these event triggers, it can run checks based on either of the two mechanisms (file extension or file signature) and DENY requests if match is found.
