Lan-Secure Wireless Protector Workgroup

Every computer with an active Internet connection is subject to various threats that attempt to steal personal data or damage your system. An antivirus might provide a sense of security, but not complete protection. Additional applications like Lan-Secure Wireless Protector Workgroup offer an alternative by completely cutting access to the Internet.

Running the application for the first time brings up a small window which aims to take you through a series of steps in order to configure connections and network settings. In order for the main process to properly function you need to add several target computers to manipulate from a distance.

This can either be done by directly pointing out one machine at a time, choose from a list in the form of a text file, across an IP range or from your local domain or workgroup. Needless to say that the proper credentials need to be provided for proper access to workgroup computers.

All target machines are enlisted along with details regarding name, IP, as well as status update. A few more similar details can be reached by bringing up a scan properties window, dedicated to each computer. Moreover, reports can be issued to get an overall view of effectiveness.

At its core, the application offers enhanced protection against Internet threats to a selection of computers by disabling certain connections while the LAN cable is connected, this enhances a local environment workflow, file sharing, as well as security.

The list of devices that can be disabled is decent, with entries like Bluetooth, Firewire, Infrared, Modem and Wireless. What's more, action sets can be configured for enlisted computers, with the possibility to have it automatically shut down, restarted, or receive an email notification whenever changes are made.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Lan-Secure Wireless Protector Workgroup lives up to expectations and provides a suitable security alternative for computers in a workgroup that are not entirely dependent of an Internet connection. The set of features is decent and allows for a careful management and setup of rules in order to meet any demand.
