Option 2: Modify the ProxyBlocker console

PROS: Can be done from the ProxyBlocker console.
CONS: Must be set up for each sub-group.
1. Make modifications in one of the redirect URL tabs:
Go to: Group > IP > “Group Name” > “Sub-Group
Name” > Sub Group Profile > Redirect URL
Go to: Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile >
Default Redirect URL
2. Set the redirect URL to: http://<server for
block_page>[:<port for block page>]/<blockpage>
NOTE: The ProxyBlocker does not accept the URL with a port
setting (:<port for block page>), so to get around this the block
page must be placed at the default HTTP port, which is 80. Since
the console may not allow certain characters (e.g. “_”), if such
characters are used in the URL a modified name must be used
instead for the <blockpage>.
As a result, the ProxyBlocker will redirect the block page
to the customized one with the following link format:
http://<server for block_page>[:<port for block page>]/
<blockpage>?URL=<blocked url>&IP=<client
IP>&CAT=<URL category>&USER=<client User Name>

2. Exclude filtering <server for block page> IP

1. Go to: GUI: Group > Global Group > Range to Detect
2. Input the IP address under “Destination IP” > ”Exclude
IP”
Without excluding this IP address, the ProxyBlocker may
capture/filter/block the following redirect link:
http://<server for block_page>[:<port for block page>]/
<blockpage>?URL=<blocked url>&IP=<client
IP>&CAT=<URL category>&USER=<client User Name>
