Sophos Firewall Blocking Page

Hi!

I am currently exploring Sophos based on my prior experience with it back in 2014. I am gradually migrating from my MikroTik setup to a Sophos Home Firewall, primarily due to its advanced security features.

I have set up Sophos Home Firewall on Protectli Vault Series mini-PC hardware, and it is functioning as expected. I have enabled Web, Application, Antivirus, and IPS filtering on my LAN-to-WAN firewall rules. Additionally, I have configured multiple WAN connections with SD-WAN for application-based rerouting, particularly for video and conference calls required for office work.

I have a question regarding the blocking page. Do I need to enable user authentication to display a more detailed blocking page that explains what content is being blocked and why? At present, the blocking page only shows the message: "Access Blocked: Policy block due to web category" (as seen in the left-side image).

How can I configure the blocking page to display the version shown on the right side?


Regards
