InternetOff is a free tool that allows you to quickly turn off\on your internet connection from the system tray.
Why it's needed
The main and inherent problem with always being online is that you are too connected. Twitter, RSS feeds, YouTube video, answering email or IM message... And again from the start of the list. You only react on those "incoming" things instead of act. When you go offline all those distractions disappear. There's no Twitter. No chat. No web. Only you and your tasks. Since you cannot consume you have to create so that something happens.
InternetOff allows you to quickly turn off the internet so that you can go offline. When you need the connection, you can enable the internet easily for some period (and it will be automatically turned off) or permanently in just two clicks. Besides the program lets you password protect access to the internet.
New
Program settings are added
Password protection
The new version has option to set a password to protect access to the settings and to control internet. Note, you can disable the internet without the password, but you have to enter it to enable the internet.
Other options
Option to auto run the app on Windows startup
Option to automatically check for the updates
Network adapters autodetection
The previous version disabled all network adapters even those that are are not connected to the internet. This caused big latency if you have more than one adapter and sometimes the system might become unstable.
Floating "Internet Left Time" bar
When you enable the internet for the period of time the program displays a small floating bar where it shows how much time left until your internet will be disabled. You can place it anywhere on your desktop also you can right click to this bar and change its opacity, size or hide it forever.
This bar is very useful to control the expiration of your internet time and get your internet releated work done in time.
Background mode to control the internet
Now the main program part is working in a background mode so even if you close a GUI part your internet will be still under control.
Windows 8 support
The previous version didn't work under Win 8, the current does it.
