When DNSWatch blocks the connection to a website, a block page appears in the browser. There are two block pages:
Security Block Page
The security block page appears when a user tries to get access to a malicious domain.
Content Filtering Block Page
The content filtering block page appears when a user tries to get access to a domain that is not considered malicious but is blocked by content filtering settings in the DNSWatch configuration.
The block pages are hosted on the Blackhole server. For more information, go to About the Blackhole Server for DNSWatch in WatchGuard Cloud.
You can add custom messages to block pages that appear when users try to get access to malicious or filtered content on a protected network. For more information, go to Manage the Block Pages for DNSWatch in WatchGuard Cloud.
