internet-control is a very special implementation of parental control. It allows the child to be productive at the computer while lowering the danger of addiction to a minimum.
Instead of restricting the time the computer may be used, it allows parents to restrict the time the computer may be connected to the internet. This way the child is still able to do its homework at the computer, but the danger of addiction to a game or social media application is minimised - the unpredictabillity of the multiplayer mode and the social interaction via the internet are missing.
As this program is aimed at average parents I placed great emphasis on user-friendliness; both the graphical user interface and the command line interface are easy to use and well explained.
NOTE: This was my first coding project. By design it is a potential SECURITY RISK. Now I know better, so I abandoned this project.
