I've got a network with 10 client computers connected to a switch then and into a NIC on a "server".
The server is used to provide a training software over the LAN. The client computers have thus not been required any internet access.
Now the training software is being moved into the cloud instead and each computer needs internet access, but I don't want to bridge the connection on the server with the WAN interface.
In the best of worlds, I want to limit the internet access on the clients to Only the training software URL.
I've looked at software such as SiteKiosk but I don't know what the best and cheapest solution is.
Any suggestions?
I prefer the kiosk application solution before that actually. – Filip Ekberg – 2012-05-16T09:17:51.380
@Filip: Perhaps, in order to avoid asking a shopping question about kiosk software maybe you could edit the question to explain the problem you have with SiteKiosk.
– RedGrittyBrick – 2012-05-16T09:23:05.827I don't have any problems with SiteKiosk. But your solution introduces more hardware and needs much(?) more configuration, hence not really cost effective. And I want a cheap and good solution. – Filip Ekberg – 2012-05-16T09:25:33.650
@Filip: I accept that a firewall isn't what you want, that's fine by me. I don't understand why you don't use SiteKiosk - is it too expensive? Are you only looking for a cheaper SiteKiosk? – RedGrittyBrick – 2012-05-16T09:37:41.660
SiteKiosk is my only option at the moment, I want to find cheaper / better solutions. SiteKiosk costs about 149EUR per client computer and then there's the configuration on that as well. Maybe a firewall is cheaper than that. – Filip Ekberg – 2012-05-16T09:43:05.827
Is the setup/configuration of Squid easy on Windows 7? – Filip Ekberg – 2012-05-16T10:34:28.120
