With the help of StoneGate 5.0 administrators can configure HTML user responses that are shown in the end user’s web browser. The idea of HTML user responses is to inform the end-users why hey got banned.

The administrator can customize the HTML user responses for the following cases:

• Connection blacklisted
• Connection refused by access rule
• Connection terminated by inspection rule
• URL not allowed
• Virus found

For each case the administrator can decide whether to:

• Close silently the TCP connection
• Redirect the user to specified URL
• Show customized HTML response

You can for example notify your end-users that their web browser is outdated. You can of course make things as smooth as possible for the end-user and include the link to update the browser in the customized HTML user response.
