(Диспетчер задач, Диспетчер дисковых подключений и Сетевые подключение при наведении в трее, чтобы не открывать программу будет лучше сделать)
Noted it down , Thanks for your suggestion
I mean the later version you can develop for it to boot with windows without having to go through another software!
The software does not have to start with Windows. However, if you want it to, use the software called "Skip UAC Prompt".
Web Link …
I can’t get this software to start with Windows! Please help me!
Is it possible to make binds to turn off the Internet when you press a certain or any key on the keyboard, as well as back on?
(Есть возможность сделать бинды по отключению интернета при нажатии на определенную или любую клавишу на клавиатуре, а так же вкл. обратно ?)
OK, I understand now, thanks!
Menu -> Network Adapters, only the device you connect to the internet should be checked.
I have 2 adapters listed by NetDisabler, a wired and a wireless. I have permanently disabled the wireless myself and the wired is working. However, NetDisabler reports that internet is disabled. If I untick the wireless (Menu -> Network Adapters), it reports internet is enabled. If I tick it again, it reports internet is disabled. It should report internet is enabled, because the wired adapter is working and both adapters are ticked.
You can’t add exception to Net Disabler
Or, alternately, is there a way to add Spotify to the exceptions in the proxy settings? I also tried that and it did not work.
How can I allow Spotify? I tried to use the firewall option and allow Spotify in my firewall rules but it does not work.
It is a free portable program for Microsoft Windows devices to disable the Internet connection of the device temporarily.
I forgot the password … can you help ?
This is awesome! Thank you for making it! Can you add the possibility of adding keyboard shortcuts to turn everyone on/off or select stuff? Thanks in advance.
You’re welcome
