Web Blocking on a single PC
Hello,
I have a department that would like a PC to be able to be accessed by the public but they only want them to be able to go to one website, a website where they can sign up for something on their own. I know there is software that will do this. I was wonder what the best is for this senario. I want them to only be able to access the one website. Thanks guys/gals.

If you change the hosts file, you run the risk of not being able to access your internal systems as well. My understanding of the question is that they just want to block web and nothing more.
Is this correct gustac?

Well, it's going to be a public PC and used ONLY for browsing the one website so internal systems wouldn't be a problem.
As far as setting up a proxy for just this one PC, I don't think I'm going to put that much time into that. Seems like there should be an easier way. Thanks for the comments so far guys. I'm still working on it....

If that is the case, either one of those examples would work. You can do a mini-pac on the local box or you can set do null dns servers and put the host you want to be able to get to in the hosts file.
Either one of those would do the trick.
