What is Block Page Assistant?
"Block Page Assistant" is a Chrome extension designed to increase user experience for those using DNS-based web filters. Rather than displaying a message indicating that it cannot connect, this extension redirects the blocked HTTPS connections, forwarding users to a clear block page via a gateway. It is constructed to work effectively with mytools.management and similar filtering products.

Summary

When using a web filtering product that also filters HTTPS but does not intercept the connections, the block page is generally the browser saying it cannot connect. This extension resolves that issue for customers of DNS-based web filtering solutions by forwarding the user to a gateway hosted block page.

Enhances the user experience for those using a DNS-based Internet filter that runs mytools.management by redirecting blocked HTTPS connections to a clear block page.

Note that as of 2022, adam:ONE® users should instead use adam:ONE® assist.
