IP filter fail in Porteus Kiosk 3.1.2
Posted: 22 Oct 2014, 16:35
It seems the IP filter function does not work on v 3.1.2. This is needed to limit access to only one website (similar to whitelisting). It used to work great when porteus Kiosk was configured via the old Kiosk Web.
The symptoms are after the iso is made, the kiosk starts and establishes a "connection" successfully and the kiosk can return a ping reply, however firefox opens it says "Connecting to...." and eventually times out. There is no built in terminal feature so cannot test ping out.
Have tried without success:
Adding different external IP addresses, different computers and different networks, modems, configuring ethernet (static or DHCMP) or wireless but cannot get IP address filter to work even with the default porteus homepage. Have tried to removing proxy in the initial configuration.
The kiosk works with IP filter disabled so its not a network fault.
Example IP filter settings:
10.0.0.1 (This is gateway)
10.0.0.1/21 (This is local network)
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
74.125.237.134 (This is google)
46.105.102.104 (this is porteus kiosk homepage)
Is this a bug in 3.1.2?
Is their a link to kiosk version 3.1.1 so i can test IP filter?
