Hey there,
i am currently setting up computers for my school and decided to use Linux Mint for it. Whatever, i want to restrict the web access to a few sites only. I already tried programs like mintnanny but that really is the opposite of what i am looking for, i want a program where everything is blocked by default and i can create a whitelist of websites that are ok to use.
Also if you have a individual whitelist for every user that would be even better.
Best regards,
Titus

I've never tried this, but you might have a look: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls
Re: Restricting Web access
Best to do this at the browser for each computer/user:
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... bdilehfkbl
Wasn't able to find an equivalent for Firefox, but it might be out there with more research.

Re: Restricting Web access
Thanks so far, the chrome extention did exactly what i wanted. But i need some way to prevent students from disabling the extention. Is there a way?
Re: Restricting Web access
that would be something like:

Lock Google Chrome with Built-in Password Protection
that would also be Browser version dependant, as well,
so it may Not work, on an later Browser version . .

The basic Idea is good, but the option they talk about does not exist anymore...that would be something like:
