How to Show a Custom Page for Blocked Websites

Blocker Web can display a clear message when someone tries to open a blocked website.

This provides a friendlier explanation than a standard browser connection message and confirms that the website has been blocked on the computer.

Turn the Custom Blocked Page On

To enable the feature:

Blocker Web saves this setting when it is changed.

It will be restored automatically the next time the program opens.

The page displays a simple message explaining that the website has been blocked by Blocker Web.

It is provided locally by the program, so it does not rely on an external webpage.

Blocker Web needs to remain running for the custom page to appear.

You do not need to keep the main window open.

Minimise Blocker Web to the Windows system tray and it can continue running in the background.

To reopen the program, double-click the Blocker Web tray icon.

To test it:

When the browser reaches the local Blocker Web page, the blocked-attempt counter inside the program will also increase.

Some secure HTTPS websites may display the browser’s own connection message instead of the custom Blocker Web page.

The website can still be blocked correctly even when the custom page is not shown.

To disable the feature:

Your blocked websites will remain in the list and normal website blocking can continue.

Only the custom message will be turned off.
