HTTP response pages

An HTTP response page is a web page that displays when the system blocks web requests using either access control rules or the access control policy default action.

HTTP response page types

The response page displayed depends on how you block the session:

  • Block Response Page: Overrides the default browser or server page that explains that the connection was denied.

  • Interactive Block Response Page: Warns users, but also allows them to click a button (or refresh the page) to load the originally requested site. Users may have to refresh after bypassing the response page to load page elements that did not load.

If you do not choose a response page, the system blocks sessions without interaction or explanation.
