  <title>Restricting Access to the Internet</title>

  <p>You can restrict a user’s access to the internet. This will prevent them
    using a web browser, but it will not prevent them using the internet (in
    potentially more limited forms) through other applications. For example,
    it will not prevent access to e-mail accounts using <app>Evolution</app>,
    and it will not prevent software updates being downloaded and applied.</p>

  <p>To restrict a user’s access to the internet:</p>
  <steps>
    <item><p>Open the <app>Parental Controls</app> application.</p></item>
    <item><p>Select the user in the tabs at the top.</p></item>
    <item><p>Enable the <gui style="checkbox">Restrict Web Browsers</gui> checkbox.</p></item>
  </steps>
