Ethernet vs. USB Port
The Cable/ADSL version of NetProtector® is designed to plug into the Ethernet port not the USB port of the computer.
If your computer is connected to your Cable/ADSL modem through the USB port, you have to switch the connection to the Ethernet port in order to use NetProtector®. Typically, this will also improve your Internet performance. Most new computers come with both ports.
To help you decide which type of connection you have, see the sample connectors below.

USB ports are limited to 12 Mbps speed while new Ethernet ports are 100 Mbps speed.
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.
