forgive the title, its not very clear but im after some software to block programs getting access to the internet, ideally asking permission if its for one thats needed to be used, ie firefox. its to be used on a member of the family's 1GB download limit connection and i dont want it misused. would like it be free if such a thing exists too cheers!
I've got a program called networx which is freeware to monitor your download and upload usage. There is an option for quota's and you can set the limit for daily use. Haven't used it myself but may be worth your time to look into it. It can be found here: http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/
