Creating alternate block messages

You can create your own HTML files to supply the text that appears in the top frame of the block page. Use existing HTML files, create alternate files from scratch, or make copies of block.html to use as a template.

• Create different block messages for each of 3 protocols: HTTP, FTP, and Gopher.
• Host the files on the web protection machine, or on your internal web server (see Using an alternate block page on another machine).

After creating alternate block message files, you must configure web protection software to display the new messages (see Configuring filtering settings). During this process, you can specify which message is used for each of the configurable protocols.
