Is there a firewall which can disconnect all internet connections after a certain amount of time, or after the downstream/upstream is getting zero?

Thanks

Cheers

There is a very similar thread about firewall

I found that thread too, but it doesn't answer my question. The link you gave me is more an information what kind of firewall people prefer and not the one with this specific function.
It could also be that I missed the answer in it. If yes, I am deeply sorry.


thanks anyway

cheers

Sorry for my aggressive answer :D

I posted that link coz I wanted to tell you that it would be a better idea to post it in it, and not create a new thread only named "firewall"...

@Siber, that's ok I am not unforgiving.

@smiller667, you are right I could trie google. The only problem would be that I get a whole bunch of answers for different kind of firewalls, and not the one which is preferred by users. Though I haven't asked for the best one (rule 12) :D.

thanks, I will check out HackerSmacker and Ventura firewall.

cheers

I don't know them either :) ... I just googled them up. In terms of reliability, I would personally go for the Kerio firewall, but that one doesn't have the feature requested.

Fischerbot: sygate personal firewall (http://smb.sygate.com/default.htm) does have this feature.
under tools -> advanced rules -> add -> scheduling.

should be what you're looking for.
