It can also automatically adjust the network settings for up to three additional computers. Mobile users in particular will appreciate no longer having to manually change their laptop's network settings when connecting to their home network. Parents may limit both the time of day and number of minutes per day that Internet connection is allowed. Denial of child access to inappropriate Internet sites is made possible by the weekly updated 'CyberNOT' filtering list. The list is maintained by a trained team that evaluates sites using predefined objective criteria, ensuring consistent results.
Parents can also allow or deny access to specific sites of their choice.
The filter and other controls are password protected and cannot be circumvented by children, enabling parents to have peace of mind when allowing unsupervised Internet browsing. For dial-up Internet access, SurfDoubler Plus automatically dials and connects when any Internet application, such as a browser is used. On home networks with more than two computers, connection to the Internet is granted on a first come, first served basis, allowing any two computers to use the Internet at any one time. More information can be found on Vicomsoft's web site. SurfDoubler Plus can certainly make it easier for small home networks to access the Internet, but the ability for parents to control time of access for their kids could be invaluable.
