Http blocked even though it is listed in URLAllowlist

Question

I am running MS Edge in kiosk mode. I utilize the URLAllowlist and URLBlocklist. I would like to block everything, except urls listed in the allowed list. I have * in the block list. When I put an http url in the allow list, it gets blocked. If I remove * from the block list it loads. How can I open http sites in kiosk mode while blocking everything?

Hi @The Dark Brainer,

Things are a little bit different in Kiosk mode. For example, if you need to allow http://example.com in Kiosk mode, you have 3 options:

1. add both http://example.com and https://example.com
2. or simply add example.com
3. or add http://example.com to the HttpAllowlist. (http://example.com still needs to be added in URLAllowlist)

It does not work if you just add http://example.com.
