Hi, IMO the kiosk mode approach is wrong. Kiosk mode solely for use cases where you have just one single app in foreground such as having a STB in airport, when conducting exams etc. Inorder to cater your requirement we can go for VPN. But we need support generic VPN types like L2TP, PPTP, IPSec etc. and to add firewall rules around them. Another thing we can do is if they come up with their own enterprise applications, applications should be able to establish the VPN connection on its own which we call it as per app VPN. Either way it has to go towards that approach. Otherwise we may have to look for firewall type operations in Android SDK.
