<div dir="ltr">I don't know your network config...and I haven't specifically tried to restrict any devices intended strictly for census yet, but with devices intended for OPAC/PAC/catalog-use (pick your terminology!) only, I have a "standard" mechanism defined in our typical network perimeter firewall configuration that handles that. It's really nothing more than:<div><ol><li>DHCP server has a static assignment for OPAC/PAC/catalog device MAC addresses to ensure they get a specific known IP address every time.</li><li>A firewall rule blocks ALL network traffic from that IP address range from passing through the firewall with the exception to the rule being a list of permitted domains/IP addresses to allow the catalog and any ancillary URLs to be accessible and work correctly.</li></ol><div>Like I said, I haven't specifically looked into restricting a census device, but presumably most of the network traffic for the device will be limited to a specific set of known URLs. You can likely use the same mechanism to restrict access on those devices. Anything you don't specifically except will be blocked by default.</div></div><div><br></div><div>2 cents,</div><div>Chad<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in public libraries</i></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 3, 2020 at 10:31 AM Scott Harmon via OPLINTECH <<a href="mailto:oplintech@lists.oplin.org">oplintech@lists.oplin.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

listed in restricted zones, but that only prevents certain features from working on these sites. Ideally, the links would not work or open a blank page.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
