so Im trying to lock down a bunch of PC's in a training room,

all they need to access is 2 websites, and nothing else, no google, no facebook, no torrents, no nothing,
no bittorrent, no weird apps, and nothing else, not even email, essentially I need to create dumb terminals from a normal PC,

with access to 2 websites and the USB and headset/microphone working

so far what ive come up with is loading Chrome OS flex for them, but not quite sure how to get into the admin mode,
do I need to apply for a Google Workspace license to lock the machines down even further?

or is this not the best way of doing this? is there a better way using windows 10/11
 
Consider leaving PornHub unblocked, just so you can catch anyone who is brave enough to try.
 
I would do something like a DNS based block all except the required websites.. So with something like pihole, whitelist the two websites in question and then regex block with I think it would be .* to block everything..

You might need to use dev tools in the browser and whitelist any external domains the two websites are calling as well, if there is reliance on external domains for functionality..

I used pihole to block Youtube years ago when I was on capped LTE and the ex's daughter was killing the data cap.


I am sure you can do it the other way around to block all traffic besides what you want to allow access to. I might be some work though.
