Block Page Assistant Extension

When using a web filtering product that also filters HTTPS but does not intercept the connections, the block page is generally the browser saying it cannot connect.
This extension resolves that issue for customers of DNS-based web filtering solutions by forwarding the user to a gateway hosted block page.

Enhances the user experience for those using a DNS-based Internet filter that runs mytools.management by redirecting blocked HTTPS connections to a clear block page.
