How can I handle connection issues when loading websites? ​

If the Wifi/ethernet connection of the device is not available immediately on device start you should keep the option Wait for Network Connection enabled. With this option Fully Kiosk Browser will not try to load any pages until a connection is established.

Put the Custom Error URL to detect website load errors and show a nice error page instead the default one. In Fully Kiosk Browser 1.45+ you can just use the nice embedded fully://errorpage URL for that. If something goes wrong when loading a web page the user will see the error page instead.

If you want the user to see the error page in case of Internet Disconnection immediately (without loading the next page – which can be frustrating) use the Load Error URL on Disconnection option. The real Internet connectivity is checked by pinging the IP address 8.8.8.8 every 10 seconds. You can change the IP address to ping by a hidden option in Fully Kiosk: get this JSON settings file, edit and import it into Fully Kiosk.

Enable the Auto Reload on Internet Reconnect option in order to come back to the right website automatically once the Internet connection reappeared.
