Block page appearance

Whenever a user attempts to navigate to a blocked site, they will be presented with a page notifying them that they are attempting to access a blocked site and that they should get in touch with an administrator if they believe this has happened in error.

If desired, there are various components of the block page that can be customized.

Creating a new block page appearance setting

Navigate to "Block Page Appearance" under the "Policies" menu in the left sidebar. Click the "Add" button.

Enter a name for the new appearance.

Umbrella offers to display the same block page for all pages, in addition to displaying a different page for sites that were blocked by a category, destination list, phishing, or security setting.

After choosing whether or not to show a different block page depending on what type of request was being blocked, select what will display when a block page is encountered. If desired, enter a custom message to display, or redirect users to a different page.

If desired, it is also possible to prompt users to email an administrator if they would like a block to be removed, as well as to display a custom logo on the block page.

When finished, click "Save".

Adding a custom block page appearance to a policy

Navigate to "All Policies" under the "Policies" menu in the left sidebar. Click the policy's box to expand it, then click "Edit" under "Umbrella Default Block Page Applied".

Select "Use a Custom Appearance", then choose the block page appearance created previously. Click "Set & Return", then "Save".
