[`+  remediateVerdictWithRemediationURLMapKey:remediationButtonTextMapKey:`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEFilterDataVerdict/remediateVerdict(withRemediationURLMapKey:remediationButtonTextMapKey:))

Creates a verdict to drop the current chunk of network data and all subsequent data for the current flow, and provides a remediation URL.

[`+  needRulesVerdict`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEFilterDataVerdict/needRules())

[`+  dataVerdictWithPassBytes:peekBytes:`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEFilterDataVerdict/init(passBytes:peekBytes:))
