This tool can block your internet connection in three different ways. It can disable the internet by disabling corresponding hardware devices. Or it can block websites by changing DNS settings or prevent programs from accessing the internet using Windows Firewall. These methods are as follows:
Disable Devices: This method disables all the selected network devices so that there is no communication between your computer and the internet. In this mode, Windows will respond as if there is no wireless or LAN connection on your computer.Block with DNS: Net Disabler will change system-wide DNS settings so that the users cannot access any website. Overcoming this type of security is very easy. It can be done by simply plugging in the IP address values rather than the website names. And in this type of setup, Windows will connect to wireless or other networks but websites will not be accessible.Block with Proxy: Proxy is used to block the internet.Block with Windows Firewall: Under this method, Windows Firewall settings are altered in such a way that no program can access internet on the computer.
