The system runs on a Windows PC and provides simple installation, automatic configuration and easy customization. Distributing Internet connectivity among students has vastly different requirements from sharing the same Internet connection between users in an office. Sharing a connection could not be easier with the broad availability of various hardware and software routers and firewalls. Not being able to control how the connection is being used is usually what prevents many schools from sharing Internet connectivity to students. Unrestricted and uncontrolled access to Internet resources by underage students can cause more harm than good. Numerous online and Flash-based games not only deter from the education process, but often link to malicious code that will infect all school computers if given the slightest chance.
