Analyzing and Isolation

ConcealBrowse analyzes every URL that is clicked on within your browser. If the site is not considered safe, Conceal will give you our scoring on that and give you the option to either continue to the site in isolation, which is a safe environment, or to return to the previous page.

Blocked Sites/Redirects

In some instances, your organization may have policies set in place that will alter your typical browsing experience. A couple examples include being blocked from websites and being redirected to a different site than the one you clicked on. You can always check with your administrator if this is the intended behavior for your organization. For more information on this refer to this related article:

- Why am I getting a blocked message for this website?
