CxForward

NxFilter's HTTPS block page displayer.
What is CxForward?
CxForward is a Chrome extension designed to aid network administrators. It addresses an issue where Chrome shows an SSL warning when NxFilter blocks an HTTPS website, instead of showing NxFilter's block page. CxForward resolves this by correctly displaying the block page, offering users a clear understanding of why their access was blocked, hence preventing future access violation.

Extension summary

When NxFilter blocks a website on HTTPS, Chrome displays SSL warning instead of NxFilter's block page, This is for preventing MITM attack as NxFilter tries to forward the HTTPS request to its block page. Even though it's a user protection measure from Chrome, you may find it annoying. You already know that it's blocked by NxFilter because you wanted to block it as the administrator of your network. And you want to notify your users why they blocked from the website to prevent further access violation by them. So, we provide CxForward to display the block page correctly even if you want to block a website on HTTPS.
