Add a DNS Filtering block page

A block page is what users see when they try to visit a domain that is blocked by DNS Filtering.

There are two types of block pages:

  • A hosted block page that halts a user and presents organizational information, as well as options to enter a bypass password or notify the administrator.

  • An external block page that immediately sends a 302 redirect to a location that you set, either a local-only resource, for example, http://office.local/block.html or a public resource, for example, http://validdomain.com/block.html.

To enable a block page on devices, you must apply it to a DNS Filtering profile.

  1. Go to Integrations >DNS Filtering > Profiles - Block Page.

  2. Click Add Block Page.

  3. Enter a name and description for the block page and click Save.

  4. Enable the Enable this Block Page as a Global Block page to set your block pages as a global block page. This allows you to share the current block page with other sub-organizations.

  5. Select Hosted Block Page or External Block Page.

  6. If you selected Hosted Block page page:

    1. Enter the organization name and Notice E-mail address. The Notice E-mail address allows end users requests to unblock a domain.

    2. If you want end users to use a password to temporarily bypass all content filtering restrictions when prompted with a block page, click the Bypass Password tab and enable Display Block Page Bypass Option.

    3. Enter a bypass password and click Save.

    4. Click Finish to return to the list of block pages.

  7. If you selected External Block Page:

    1. Enter the 302 redirect URL and click Save. An external block page immediately sends a 302 redirect to a location that you set (local-only or public).

    2. Click Finish to return to the list of block pages.
