You don't block port 80. You configure the gateway firewall according to
its instructions to block everything but a particular web site.

A hardware firewall installed on the gateway gives you the option to block
by computer/IP address.

You should be looking at firewalls.

looking into group policy and the authentication per group level also being
used for access at the gateway.
