URL redirect when blocked by Fortiguard

[fortigelo]

Hi forti experts Can any one teach me how to redirect into a URL if blocked by Fortiguard Web Content filterring. I want to redirrect it to our own web site. Thanks

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.

 <meta http-equiv=" Refresh"  content=" 5;url=http://www.w3schools.com"  />

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.
