Netsweeper List Entry replace url question.

[filteringtech]

Rather than blocking them, I'm trying to replace search engines that don't have or enforce Safe Search back to Google as described here:

 

https://helpdesk.netsweeper.com/docs/Flare/Netsweeper_Documentation/Content/WebAdmin_Content/Lists/List_Entries/Actions_in_List_Entries.htm

 

 

Using startpage.com as the "New Entry" and Replace with google com.

 

It looks fine in Trace Request, but the end result is

https://startpage.com/google.com and the chrome browser error "startpage.com redirected you too many times"

 

Does anyone else used this and has got it working?

Is the request part not wrong? It says URL - is there an option for domain (Soz, not a Netsweeper expert)

Not the answer - but you can enforce Bing safe search https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/blocking-adult-content-with-safesearch-or-blocking-chat-946059ed-992b-46a0-944a-28e8fb8f1814

Yep, I'd already tried all the obvious combinations. Instead of trying to do a helpful redirect, I'll just carry on wielding the ban hammer.

I've discovered that it does work as intended "mostly". I was trying to force duckduckgo.com to safe.duckduckgo.com. That fails with too many redirects. Startpage for example now seems fine.
