Hi,

We are trying to set-up certain workstations to only allow access to our ticketing site.

I found this

but couldn't find the setting to create the policy.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Open up Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
    Create a New Group Policy Object and name it Restrict Internet Access.
    Edit and navigate to: User Configuration -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry and create a New Registry Item.
    There are 4 registry items we need to create/update: ProxyEnable, ProxyServer, ProxyOverride, AutoDetect
    The EnableProxy key will check the box to force the browser to use the proxy settings.

    Under the General Tab for the New Registry Properties:
    Action: Update. This will also create the reg key if it doesn’t exist.
    Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    Value Name: ProxyEnable
    Value Type: REG_DWORD
    Value Data: 1
    Base: Hexadecimal
    For specific steps, please refer to the article in the link
