URL Filtering with no block page

DPoppleton — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 15:27:13 GMT

Is it possible to have URL filtering by category with just a quiet drop of traffic, no reset or block page? Basically I want to filter without people knowing I am filtering, they just can't connect to a bad website. I can't figure out how to do that; everything looks like URL filtering requires some sort of response page.

In this case you can simply add the required categories directly into your security policy rule (in the WebUI this is located on the same tab where you add a service) and then configure the action to drop.

@DPoppleton,

You can't really disable the URL Filtering response pages, but you can simply upload a blank response page that will essentially do the exact same thing.

**edit**

@Remo's suggestion works perfectly fine as well, it simply takes the response page out of the equation.

I didn't think of that, thanks! I'll give it a try.
