How can I configure Sophos XG's firewall block page ?

J Thai

Hi everyone,

I am operating Sophos XG (Home) v18.5 MR4. I would like to either:

  1. Set the firewall to drop the connection to the blacklisted websites rather than blocking it then redirecting to the admin local address & displaying the block page.

    OR


  2. If 1. is not possible, please guide me how to make the 'Login to Network' button (circled in red) disappear.

Thank you very much in advance everyone.

    Hi J Thai

    Try to block the website with help of an application filter it will not display the block page.

    To create an application filter follow the link : https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000036732?language=en_US 

    For another question, if you want to disappear 'Login to Network' button (circled in red) you have to authenticate the user to get below block page.

    Further, you can only edit the message to display a custom message under Configure -->Web-->User notification 

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi J Thai

    We cannot block Video Ads from YouTube, as per my previous post I have mentioned that if you have allowed YouTube and want to block video ads from YouTube is not possible, you can either allow YouTube or Block Youtube however application signature is available to take action as per the snapshot shared earlier,
