How To: Custom Block Pages

Block pages are shown when an attempt is made to reach a blocked site. You can use custom block pages to show a message to users, show the organization logo and direct users to contact help desk.

Rawstream block pages are completely customizable: they can contain HTML, CSS, link to external resources such as images, logos and style sheets.

Note: do not add <HTML> <HEAD> or <BODY> tags – they are added automatically.
