CxForward is an Edge add-on specifically developed to circumvent Edge's SSL warning messages when NxFilter blocks a website on HTTPS. Designed with network administrators in mind, it does not compromise security but improves the user experience when a site is blocked, as it provides a proper block page instead of an SSL warning.

When NxFilter blocks a website on HTTPS, Edge 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 Edge, 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.
User reviews
This extension is a must-have when using the NxFilter Web Filter. As explained in the description CxForward detects when an HTTPS (HTTP was already working fine without the need for an extension) page is blocked by NxFilter and properly redirects you to the block page instead of showing the "Oops No Internet Connection" page or the browser warning you for a potential certificate issue (depending on your NxFilter settings). I've been in close email contact with Jahastech about CxForward and publishing to the Edge store, now that our company has moved over to Edge as our default browser, and they have been extremely helpful accommodating us.
