How to change access blocked message?

I actually have the 6700 but it's not showing up. I'd like to not have the access blocked thing show up. My old FiOS router just stopped the connection without showing a message.

    Guess the OP does talk about this message ...

     

     

    ...caused by the mostly obsolete* Netgear Security -> Block Sites -> Keyword Blocking feature:

     

    Of course, the code does reside somewhere...trying to change the message is mostly a waste of time, as the time is near where browsers default to https and the feature is becoming definitively obsolete.

    To answer this short: No, the access blocked message is not customizable from the Web UI.
