Cable/ADSL Modem Version
This version works with any computer that is connected to an external Cable or ADSL modem. NetProtector® connects between your Ethernet network port of the computer and Cable or ADSL modem, as shown below. A tamper-resistant clip keeps NetProtector® from being unplugged from the back of the computer.
Note: If your Cable/ADSL modem is connected to your USB port, you will need to switch the connection to your network port to use NetProtector® (most new computers come with a network port). See Ethernet vs. USB Port for more details.

Installation with Router
NetProtector® is plugged between the router and Cable/ADSL modem. The tamper-resistant clip is installed into the Cable/ADSL modem. When NetProtector® is locked, all computers connected to the router will have the Internet disabled. Instead of installing NetProtector® on the router, you can install it on a single computer. This way, you can control this computer's Internet connection without disabling all the other ones. Just be aware that children might try to use the computer without NetProtector® to gain access to the Internet.
Telephone Modem Version (dialup)
This version works with a standard internal telephone modem. NetProtector® connects between the modem of the computer and the telephone wall jack, as shown below. A tamper-resistant clip keeps NetProtector® from being unplugged from the back of the computer.

Testimonials
Danny from Michigan
I have a teenage son, and I wanted the ability to shut the Internet
down at night. I am very happy with your product. I was amazed to find
such a device. I had been thinking of how I could build a lockbox device
where I could have the computer on but lock out the Internet from my
children. I thought of all kinds of ways. When I found your product,
I could not believe it. It was exactly what I had in mind!
Richard from Virginia
I was looked for an Internet locking device because I was worried about
letting my children have unsupervised Internet access at home. I reviewed
my Internet Explorer's history log and found that there were visits
to inappropriate websites. I like that NetProtector® is a
hardware solution to my problem, and I don't have to depend on any software.
Joanne from Kentucky
I caught our 16 year old son looking at pornographic material on the
Internet. I switched to DSL, and it does not allow for password protection.
When looking for a solution to my problem, I looked at NetNanny and
CyberSitter. I decided on NetProtector® so I don't have to
worry about my kids getting around software safeguards.
