Allowed Domains
Supported in:
Limit navigation to keep visitors within certain Internet domains or on specific pages.
Default Value: [empty]
Using the Allowed Domains list will allow you to specify where the visitor is able to navigate to while using your kiosk. If any domains are defined in this setting, any domain not included on the list will be automatically blocked.

How to add URLs
- Select 'Allowed Domains'.
- Select 'Edit' in the top navigation bar.
- Select the plus icon (+) from the bottom navigation bar.
- Enter a URL and select 'return'.
You can edit the URL again by touching anywhere in the white space. Touching the circle to the left of a URL will select it, allowing you to duplicate it or delete it. You can reorder URLs in the list by touching the list icon on the right of the URL and dragging up or down. You can also select or deselect all URLs.
If you select 'View' and touch a URL, Kiosk Pro will show you the components making up the URL:
If the allowed domains list is left blank, no restrictions will be placed on the browser and the visitor will be able to view any website they choose.
If you are limiting at the domain level, it is not necessary to prefix the domain name with http://
or www
. Kiosk Pro is only interested in the domain name itself.
URL format examples
'example.com' in the Allowed Domain list would allow access to:
http://www.example.com
http://www.example.com/index.html
(or any other page or folder following /)https://www.example.com
http://example.com
http://mobile.example.com
It is also possible to limit Kiosk Pro to specific prefix subdomains, so 'mobile.example.com' in the allowed domain list would allow access to:
http://mobile.example.com
and would not allow access to:
http://www.example.com
http://example.com
Wildcards
You can use wildcards (*) to stand in for certain parts of a URL. For example, *.edu
would allow any web address on a .edu
domain (like http://www.example.edu
).
Limiting to a folder or single page
You can also limit to a folder or individual page level. When limiting in these situations, you must include the full web address including http://
or https://
and wildcards if necessary.
http://www.example.com/subfolder/*
in the allowed domain list would allow access to:
http://www.example.com/subfolder/
http://www.example.com/subfolder/page.html
(or any other page or folder following /)
and would not allow access to:
http://www.example.com/subfolder2/
http://www.example.com/page.html
in the allowed domain list would allow access to:
http://www.example.com/page.html
and would not allow access to:
http://www.example.com/page2.html
https://www.example.com/page.html
