Tracking & Lockdown
Guys n Gals,
We have 2 Desktops in our house & I want to be able to track each machines usage - and if need be "suspend" internet access on each machine where possible. I also want to track how much internet usage each machine is using. In a bid to aviod the Automated Telephone call. I also want to be able to block certain sites & view a history for that machine.
Can anyone offer any advice or reccomend any good free open source programs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Re: Tracking & Lockdown
Well last time we had VM - we used the get a phone call - when the Traffic Management system kicked in - it was last year around february, just after VM first started the traffic management.
Used to say something like "Your close to the limit / your using too much" something like that anywho.

They were probably having to make too many calls and jamming up their own phone system

Re: Tracking & Lockdown
No phone call to worry about, when you go over your limit your speed gets cut but unless it gets beyond the realms of abusive they're not going to say anything.

Re: Tracking & Lockdown
The DIR-655 has this option when you install the bsecure firmware, Im using it now it doesnt ring you though when you go over your limit instead sends an alert to your PC's to tell you.
