About Confirm Feature

The Confirm feature (also known as Consent) restricts web access by requiring a confirmation from the user before allowing access. You can configure the Confirm operation for special URL categories or domains, and the users need to confirm the web request when they first visit the sites.

Confirm only works for HTTP requests. HTTPS requests cannot be redirected to a Confirm (Consent) page.

How the Confirm operation works

1. The user attempts to access a blocked website.
2. A pop-up dialog box appears, requesting confirmation.

3. Users must select Continue or Close.

   • If a user Continue to confirm access this category of websites, user is redirected to the first confirmed website. No further confirmations are needed and users can continue to access websites of the same category for the Active Time period that is set for the Confirm feature. The default is 60 minutes.
   • If a user chooses Close, user is shown the Block page and is blocked from that category of website for the period of the Active Time setting.
