• Login to WSS portal as an administrator user
• Browse to Connectivity--->Setup and Configuration--->WSS Agent--->Select "Enable block notifications"  See screenshot example below:

CASB customer's steering Gateway traffic via Proxy Forwarding from the local proxy or WSS-SEP_NTR, both do not have the ability to provide a pop-up notification. The block takes place after the local proxy and WSS has finished forwarding the data.
