I have installed v3.7.0 on a 32bit laptop to demonstrate porteus-kiosk to our church. Every website is blocked by administrator. I tried both Firefox and Chrome with the same results. Please advise.

Hello krodo57,
Perhaps you have used 'whitelist=' parameter incorrectly? Please send your kiosk config to support@porteus-kiosk.org
Thanks

Resolved Webpage Blocked
Sorry Fanthom for misspelling your name. OK, it looks like whitelist is not working for me. I reconfigured to use the default home page and that opened in the browser. So I reconfigured again using the whitelist url for the home page and that connected as well.

Re: Webpage Blocked
Does that mean the issue is resolved?

Re: Webpage Blocked
I would like to find out why whitelist is not working, but since we're using only 1 url I am putting it in the homepage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Webpage Blocked
I really dont know where the issue is.
Please try these parameters in your config:
homepage=http://porteus-kiosk.org
disable_navigation_bar=no
whitelist=porteus-kiosk.org
As you can see only porteus-kiosk.org (and subpages) are allowed. If you try to open google.com or any other webpage then you'll get access denied picture.
It should work the same for your website.
BTW: setting up the homepage to porteus-kiosk.org and whitelisting something else (like in your config posted above) will produce 'access denied' picture.
Thanks

Re: Webpage Blocked [Solved]
OK, so I mirrored the homepage and whitelist url for the pushpay site and that worked.
