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.
