Displaying a simple website on a secure kiosk terminal may sound straightforward, but, as is often the case, the devil is in the details.
Conventional browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are not suitable for this task because it is not possible to sufficiently restrict their user interfaces. Depending on the use case, it may be also desirable to display only the website itself in full-screen mode, with no user interface at all.
It may also be necessary to prevent the user from browsing any website other than the intended one. Naturally, the entire system must be secured to prevent unauthorized access to the operating system or other applications.
FrontFace digital signage and kiosk software makes implementing such a kiosk terminal easy. Thanks to the integrated kiosk browser mode, even simple use cases like this one can be quickly and easily implemented. If requirements increase over time, it is no problem to move on to a full-fledged touch menu. This allows you to display not only a single webpage but also other content, such as videos, images, or PDFs, organized as a nested menu.
Finally, the free FrontFace Lockdown Tool is available to easily configure and secure your Windows PC. With the FrontFace Lockdown Tool, you can implement features such as automatic login without password entry, scheduled PC startup and shutdown and much more.
