BigFather 2.1

For most of parents or small business owners, the configuration part is the most dreadful task they encountered in setting up a home or small office computer network.

BigFather is a switch sniffer, easy to configure, for Internet monitoring and control. Unlike spyware-based Internet activity monitoring products that need "bug implantation," BigFather is an eavesdropping program that uses a switch sniffer to capture and analyze communication traffic over a computer network.

BigFather not only logs in real time URL visits, Email, chats, games, FTP, and data flows, but also takes webpage snapshots, duplicates Email and FTP copies, records MSN messenger content, and gives statistical reports. It freely restricts online activities with time schedules and according to customized filtering Internet rules.

Once installed, the program will automatically set up itself and perform content monitoring and access control to keep family members or employees accountable for their actions.
