How to Create Custom Page for Blocked Users?

[nolimits76]

Awhile back I implemented some control measures to help better maintain my home network. One of things I would like to improve is implementing a "custom page" for blocked users. It doesn't need to be fancy.

Something like the example below would be fine. I just don't like how it defaults to a blurred out version of the router GUI page with the message it currently displays.

All help appreciated.

One of things I would like to improve is implementing a "custom page" for blocked users. It doesn't need to be fancy.

I do that very thing using iptables and optware/nginx. These are the rules I use redirect by ip or mac:

    for ip in $iplist
    do
        iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING 3 -p tcp -s $ip -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.2.1:8000
        iptables -I FORWARD 2 -s $ip -j DROP
    done
    for mac in $maclist
    do
        iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING 3 -p tcp -m mac --mac-source $mac -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.2.1:8000
        iptables -I FORWARD 2 -m mac --mac-source $mac -j DROP
    done

This is the only important change to nginx.conf:

    server {
        listen            8000;

        location / {
            root    /opt/etc/nginx/www;
            index    index.html index.htm;
        }
    }

This is a link to a very simple blocking page:

FYI, I originally used a different method. I modified the "blurry page" with a short message.
