Customizable Block Pages for User Awareness
Inform users about blocked access with customizable messages.
What is a Block Page?
A block page is a integral component of DNS security systems, serving as a digital checkpoint when users attempt to access restricted websites. Securd's block pages are dynamically generated webpages that appear when a user tries to visit a site blocked by the Securd DNS filtering system. These pages serve multiple purposes:
Inform users about access restrictions
Explain the reason for the block
Reinforce organizational security policies
Provide a consistent user experience across the network
Unlike browser-generated warnings, Securd's block pages are served directly through the DNS infrastructure, ensuring a seamless and controlled user experience.
