Cloud keys allow a user to view blocked content. A user can do this by entering a pre-generated cloud key when presented with a block page. After entering a valid cloud key on their block page, the user is given access to websites that would otherwise be blocked by their policy. 

Once you create a cloud key, it is available to a customer in their WebTitan Cloud UI under Settings > Cloud Keys. To use a cloud key, a customer can copy the value under the Key column and send it to a user to enter on a block page.

Cloud keys can be issued for a specific time period and/or a specific number of uses. Keys expire when:

  • The number of uses exceeds the specified in the Times Used column (see below)

  • The Valid To date has passed (even if the key has not been used).
