Disable all internet access from within VLC

Postby kabuki » 21 Dec 2009 16:16

Hello all~

Is there a way to have VLC locked down so the internet is not accessible from anywhere within the GUI (disable help tab weblinks, etc.)? I can't seem to find any any info on this topic anywhere- any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance :D

Isn't this easier to do from firewall?

Don't have a proper one as of yet- using proxies, group policies and some controls on the router to lock things down, which is working well for us now with this one exception. One group uses a VPN to connect to a satellite location and can get on the internet through that when they're connected. The admin on that end is dragging his butt and I want to try to fix it now~
