Has your home Internet access cost reached millions of VND? Has someone been visiting inappropriate websites too frequently? Restore order to your home browsing with an effective Internet access management tool called iNet Protector.
When you first log into the iNet Protector interface, it will prompt you to enter a password to ensure that only you have access to iNet Protector. After entering the password, the iNet Protector interface will be available for you to use, and while it is active, it will display an icon resembling a blue globe in the system tray.
To prevent others from accessing the Internet while you are away from home, go to “Settings” -> enter your password -> select Options and check the box “Always disable Internet on Startup” so that iNet Protector completely disconnects your computer from the Internet. This computer will only be able to access the network when you personally activate iNet Protector back to “Internet Enable” mode.

You can also use iNet Protector to establish a schedule that allows Internet access only at specific times of the day. Click on the “Schedule…” button to bring up the Schedule interface -> click on the time blocks for the 7 days of the week that you want to restrict Internet access. If you have administrative access to the computer, you can also set access times for each user account on the machine.
To save on Internet access costs, you can click on “Daily Quotas…” or “Set Timer,” then set the maximum number of hours that the computer is allowed to log onto the network during the week. Once the access time exhausts the “Quota,” the computer will automatically disconnect from the network, and no one will be able to access the Internet anymore.

You can also use iNet Protector to disable all Internet-related services on the computer. Click on Settings -> select the “Allowed Services” tab. To block a specific web service, simply check the box next to that service. For example, checking Web Browsing and E-mail will prevent your computer from browsing the web or using email, even if it is connected to the Internet.
You can also use iNet Protector as a manual website filter by selecting the “Allowed Sites” tab in “Settings” -> select “Add” and enter the addresses of adult websites that you believe your children might visit, ensuring they can never access those sites again.
