Features: Date & Time Scheduling

LAD's features for date and time scheduling lets you implement both device-variable, but also time- and date-variable firewall rules, so that you can allow just the connectivity where and when you need it. If no one is supposed to be using the desktop computers at the office at midnight, don't let them get on the Internet when no one is there. If you want to kick your kids off the Internet at 9:00PM, you can, while keeping your own access available. Just like LAD's multi-dimensional firewall, LAD's scheduling features let you get a proper fit for everyone, instead of one-size-fits-all.

While on the face of it, it may not seem to matter whether your computer's Internet access is more restrictive at one time than another, but if you look a little deeper into it, it makes sense to lock it up when you aren't using it (just like you lock your car when you aren't driving it). Just as you wouldn't want anyone taking a test drive of your car behind your back, you likely don't want your computer moonlighting for someone else when you are asleep. LAD's day- and time-based scheduling helps keep your computer in line, even when you are away.
