Customizing Web Block Page Settings

The Geo-IP Filter has a message that can be displayed when a user attempts to access a blocked page. You can have the message display detailed information, such as the reason why this IP address is blocked, as well as the IP address and the country from which it was detected. You can also create a custom message and include a custom logo.

• Include Geo-IP Filter Block Details - Select this option to show blocking details, such as reason for the blocking, the IP address, and the country. When disabled, no information is displayed. By default, this option is selected.
• Alert text
  • To use the default message displayed in the Alert text field, This site has been blocked by the network administrator., click Default Blocked Page.
  • Fill in a custom message, if desired, to be displayed as the Alert text. The message can be up to 100 characters long, and can include only the following: alphanumeric, whitespace, period (.), and underscore (_).

• Base64-encoded Logo Icon - In this field, you can specify a Base 64-encoded GIF icon to be displayed instead of the default SonicWall logo.

  Make sure this icon is valid and make the size as small as possible. The recommended size is 400 x 65 pixels.

• Preview - Click to display the Web Site Page preview window. This gives you a chance to verify your configuration and make changes if needed.
• Default Blocked Page - Reset the blocked message back to the default content.
