Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for internet isolation and security schemes for a host computer system having an internet isolation system. The internet isolation system may be installed on a laptop computer and/or similar devices at or during the time of manufacture, sale, and/or prior to delivery of the laptop computer. The internet isolation system may be pre-installed with a generic configuration. Upon delivery to a user or enterprise, the internet isolation system may be configured with specific rules tailored to the needs of the user. The configuration may identify which applications or processes should be isolated in the laptop computer using a container and/or virtual machine. The configuration may identify which addresses or sites may or may not be accessed from outside an isolated computing system (e.g., from outside a container or virtual machine). The configuration may configure proxy settings and devices for the isolated computing systems.
