You may also want to look into "installing" a chroot, using ArchLinuxArm (more up-to-date than Raspbian).
Installing a **proxy** server perhaps?
It may be required, depending on the exact network layout the O.P. intends.

I can't recall if we built a proxy server for the K4.
I am pretty sure we built squid for newer devices.

And squid is widely used, it is probably available within the ArchLinuxArm distribution.

When using a Kindle for a 'headless' configuration, the usual thing to do is shut down a large portion of the Kindle System.

Details somewhere on this site, but they may be for newer devices than the K4.
