When the site is not blocked, on Current Activity there is Protocol unknown Summary blocked.

Well Untangle are able to provide a denial page for both http and https traffic with their content filter, so it obviously is possible, but I'm afraid I can't help you with the 'how'.



But Untangle's reporting is nowhere near as good as WFilter.



We tested untangle 9.2 version to block https websites, however, it also displays a broken connection for blocked https websites.

Can you tell me how to make untangle to display a denial page for https websites?

It appears that you're correct. I had been running a trial of Untangle and I thought that it provided a denial page for both http & https, but I've double-checked and you're correct for https it does not. Sorry about that.
