Block Page Configuration



When a website is blocked, the typical block page looks like this:



In the "Customization Window" you may customize most aspects of this internally generated page - The title, image, link, and text. Or, you may create your own web page on your own website and tell the filter to use it instead.


Changing blocking settings and block page style


When you click on the "Customize" button, the following window will appear:



Overview of the controls of the "Customization Settings" window:

The "Apply" button accepts your settings. You will need to press the "Apply" button in the main window to tell the filter about your new settings.

The "Cancel" button closes the window without accepting your settings.

The "Block Bad Sites" switch when checked causes the filter to block any website that is listed in the bad URLs list.

The "Block Unknown" switch when checked causes the filter to block all websites that are not in your good URLs list.

The "Censor bad URLs in content" switch when checked causes the filter to censor any links to bad URLs in an unknown website.

The "Censor bad phrases in content" switch when checked causes the filter to censor any phrases that match any phrases in the "Phrases" list.

The "Content match count before blocking" field allows you to specify how many censored matches are allowed in an unknown website before the filter blocks the entire page.

The "Block Page Title" field allows you to set the HTML title of the block page.

The "Block Page Image" field allows you to set the image that is displayed in the block page. It defaults to "blocked1.jpg" which is stored internal to the filter. You may set this to any external URL of an image, for example:  "http://www.yourwebsite/yourblockedimage.jpg"

The "Block Page Image Link" field allows you to set the HTML link that the block page image links to.  It defaults to "http://www.internetfilter.com/".

The "Block Page Text" field allows you to set the text that is displayed below the "Block Page Image".

The "Block Page URL" field allows you to use an entirely different external block page.  When this is set to any url other than "block.html", the filter will redirect bad sites to this url instead of displaying the internally generated block page.

The "Redirect Images on bad sites" when checked tells the filter to replace any JPG,GIF, and PNG images that are located on known bad websites to the URLs specified via the "Redirect JPG images to", "Redirect GIF images to", and "Redirect PNG images to" fields.  You may enter any full urls of external images in these fields.
