Suggestion: redirect when Restriction rule applied

Post by 1an »

Just wondering if it would be possible to redirect user's browser to a (customizable?) gargoyle page informing them that the website is not accessible because of a restriction rule ... ?
Something like what happens if quota is exceeded, --> browser shows gargolye login page with red message that 100% of quota has been used.

I suspect a lot of people would appreciate this feature but I doubt it will happen since people won't say they like it and therefore Eric isn't convinced it would be worth his time to implement it. (see: Blocked Pages Notification)

Yes It would be great. User will know , why they are not able to access webpage.
It would be great, if it come with URL Input field where we can define Gateway address to show home screen OR any other webpage on any other domain which we can customize according to needs.

Thanks

+1 on that.
But I think that it's a captive portal thing.
So I believe that unless captive portal is implemented, it isn't possible.
Let's see what Eric has to say.
