Silently drop requests to denied URL categories?

Question

Hi, 
 Is there is way in XG to silently drop requests to URLs in blocked categories (via the web filter or otherwise), rather than presenting the user the block message? 
 I know I can block in firewall rules based on FQDN, and silently drop, but I would like to do the same for entire categories of URLs (e.g. dont show a warn message, or a block message, just silently drop and show a standard connection failed message in the browser). 
 Cheers,

Essentially you need to Reject this via Firewall rule. But Firewall Rules are not aware of Categories, this is later the stream of packet flow: Life of a packet – Sophos Firewall

Hello gavo_nz , Thank you for reaching out to the community, When web proxy/DPI is used then no options there, Custom Block Page or Captive portal. If you can block with Firewall rule and Application filter then it will be blank.
