ok, very simple :) But it forwards to an error page: This page has been blocked by... This should be disabled optionally: - Load error page? I want to forbid to forward a site to a specific URL.

Downloaded for the first time, really doesn't meet the need. Would be really helpful if it worked well, at least did half the work like shown in the overview.
