What is a potential consequence of misconfigured intranet site definitions in tunnel mode?

When intranet site definitions in tunnel mode are misconfigured, users may encounter unnecessary authentication prompts. This typically occurs because the access policies or routing rules do not correctly match the intended internal resources. As a result, instead of seamlessly accessing intranet sites as expected, the system may mistakenly treat requests as if they require additional verification. Users are then prompted to authenticate repeatedly, which undermines the intended user experience and can hinder productivity.

The other potential consequences listed do not accurately represent the outcome of misconfiguration in this context. For instance, it is unlikely that all traffic would be blocked automatically; instead, it would lead to erratic behavior in how resources are accessed. Similarly, while technical issues can sometimes cause browsers to crash, this is not a typical or expected outcome specifically related to misconfigurations of intranet definitions in tunnel mode.
