Allowing Updates Through Whitelisted Firewall

I am trying to allow Windows Update through a whitelisted system. I have allowed svchost.exe TCP 80 and 443 for BITS, Windows Update and the Update Orchestrator... what am I missing here? I even have a list of trusted site added.

 

Allow loading of resource with Family safety

Thank you for the quick update and clarification.

The sites that are in the whitelist (sites that are set as accessible) are the only ones that will be accessible. If the resources such as the JS (Java-script?) files and CSS are from another server that is currently
not on the list, the access to these resources will not be allowed. Apparently, you are correct the resources will be allowed once that their respective servers are listed manually.

 

Limit IE 11 to a whitelist while still permitting other browsers to access all sites

As far as I can see, there is no official, supported way to set up a "site whitelist" in Internet Explorer, i.e. to restrict IE to a specific list of sites. You can cook up something yourself, but you'll have to decide whether that is worth the hassle for you.

• One option is to create a makeshift whitelist using a proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file. The idea is basically to set up a proxy configuration that redirects all non-whitelisted sites to localhost, effectively blocking them. See e.g. Web Site Whitelisting in Microsoft Internet Explorer for detailed instructions.
  
• Another option would be to somewhat hide IE, by removing it from the Start Menu and the Taskbar. Instead, add Start Menu entries to launch IE to a specific site, one for each site that needs IE. That way users are discouraged (though not prevented) from using IE for regular browsing, but can still use it for the sites where it's necessary.
  

Ultimately, there will probably be no foolproof technical solution. The best approach will probably be to inform your users, just as in your question, that use of IE is discouraged, and that it will be removed once all the legacy applications have been converted (you are working on this, aren't you?).
