Customizing messages for users
Use this task to create a message that displays when users attempt to access sites that are blocked.
The message appears when users attempt to access a site you have blocked by ratings, by content, or
by adding it to the Exceptions list as a prohibited site. Instead of navigating to the site, users are
redirected to a page displaying the customized message. You might use the message to explain why
the site is blocked.
The message appears on client computers in the language configured for the client software, if you
have created the message in that language.
This feature is available only with versions of the browser protection service that include the web
filtering module.
