Thanks Garg ji. Yes, the old eFIsite now has restricted access. Now the public will not be able to access the site, in case they have some URLs in their old mails OR favourites, etc.
It would also be good to have some setting like "Request public search engines to not display my site." Thus, people searching the internet via search engines - the search results will not show up any results leading to old eFI site, thus no show of that restricted access page. Regards.
