How to Configure Custom Block Pages and Texts

The CloudGen Firewall uses generic, unbranded block pages by default. You can change the HTML source of these pages to adjust the content and style to fit your needs. Each page has a predefined list of placeholder objects that are replaced on the fly by the firewall when the block page is delivered to the client. Custom block pages can be used only for services using the Forwarding or Distributed Firewall services. The HTTP proxy does not support custom block pages.
