10.10. Response pages

Based on response page templates, network administrators can manage the appearance of the blocking and authentication pages of the Captive portal. Network administrators can apply various templates depending on the content filtering rules and rules of the Captive portal.

UserGate is pre-packed with three default types of templates, which are templates for the Captive portal, templates for user session control, and templates of the blocking page. Based on these built-in templates, you can create custom templates using your corporate style, logos, and language.
