Is a chessboard allowed in online chess?

I believe a physical chess board is allowed online as long as you treat it like an in-person game. That means no physically moving the pieces on the board for variations. If you treat the physical board just like a real game though (and just make the moves on the board as the online game), then it should be fine though.
Interesting is newer technology where you can connect the board to chess.com:
