Redirecting to internal webserver after blocking
-
Greetings Friends..
I have setup a firewall to block certain websites in our network. And it's working fine.
Is it possible to redirect users to some internal web server with some fancy messages/information after firewall blockage.
Yes with out the use of squid & squid guard.
Many Thanks -
Not without a proxy service like Squid.

There is should be a tough way. :)
i'm willing to walk.
Just give me directions friends..
Thanks -
The firewall only operates at the TCP/IP layers, it does not understand HTTP or other application protocols - it has no way of sending an HTTP redirect message.
If you want to redirect the browser then you have to have an application layer service doing the redirect, such as Squid. There is no other way, we can't give you directions to something that does not exist.
