Dial-Up Lock Millennium Edition™

Dial-Up Lock Millennium Edition™ is a client/server Internet tool that enables to set user-level security for Internet Dial-Up (RAS) connections. Using Dial-Up Lock Me you can limit and monitor incoming and outgoing traffic, limit and monitor time online and set allowed/denied time periods for any user on a Windows 95/98/Me. It enhances the standard Windows security by allowing you to control the Internet access via modems (standard, ISDN, etc.). Dial-Up Lock Me runs transparently in the background and is invisible to users. Dial-Up Lock Me automatically disconnects users that exceed allowed time or traffic. Remote control is also available.

To control the access to Internet Dial-Up (RAS) connections, you should be connected to the computer with the installed Dial-Up Lock Me Service which you can choose from a list of the computers (computer tree), available in your network. The list of computers will appear at the left side of the main dialog of Dial-Up Lock Me Manager. To connect to a computer just click an appropriate item in a computer tree.

If you successfully connect to a computer, the list of users that are assigned to Internet Dial-Up (RAS) connections on the current computer appears at the right side of the main dialog. To manage a user, highlight it in the list. When a user is selected, the following functions become available:

• Advanced - shows a dialog that allows you to set the traffic and time limits.
• Usage – shows a dialog that allows you to watch statistics for a selected user.

The Advanced Security dialog lets you limit incoming and outgoing traffic and limit time online for a selected user. You can check Time Restrictions to enable ability to control user's time online. You are also able to check Incoming/Outgoing Traffic Restrictions to enable ability to control user's incoming/outgoing traffic. It is possible to select several users from the user's list to manage their restrictions simultaneously.

Open the Usage Statistics dialog to watch statistics for a selected user. You can see user's total usage of incoming/outgoing traffic and the amount of time online within the given period. Check Auto Refresh to watch dynamic statistics. Information is refreshing every five seconds.

Using special time control you can define a time when a selected user will have or will not have access to Internet Dial-Up (RAS) connections. Time control appears at the bottom-right side of the main dialog. Use the left mouse button and select the allowed time. To select a denied time, use the right mouse button. Also, you can use the keyboard to set times - arrow keys for navigation and the spacebar to toggle allowed/denied time. Note that each user can have her own allowed/denied time.

Use the Advanced Statistics dialog to watch the list of all ras (dial-up) connections established by the selected user. Here you will see all the details of any ras connection - start time, duration and the amount of incoming/outgoing traffic within the connection. It is possible to save this information to a text file by clicking the "Save to file" button. This dialog enables you to monitor the PARTICULAR user, watching its time online and the amount of incoming/outgoing traffic within the connection.
