    Look in System, then Config, then Replacement Messages. Then edit the Fortiguard Web Filtering entries as needed. We edited ours so that users have a link to an unblock request. I used a Google form so that all requests get dumped to a spreadsheet I can review when I have time.

    As far as I know, you can not redirect directly, but you can enter at html-code which contain html-code for redirection.

    FWIW, I don' t redirect just to keep things simple -- I just modified the original message and added a link to the URL for our custom unblock request. The posting from Yngve is a good suggestion.
