- ASRock OMG (Online Management Guard)Fast, Easy and Free – ASRock OMG technology lets you establish an Internet curfew, or restrict Internet access at specified times. Administrators are able to schedule the starting and ending hours of Internet access granted to other users. Normally, ISPs (Internet Service Providers) will charge for such an Internet curfew service. The service controls “all” the PCs connected at home through network remotely, but all the PCs in that network will be restricted to access the Internet at pre-setup times. However, ASRock OMG is a free tool for controlling the online access of each single PC. Parents can easily prevent their kids from going online at inappropriate times, while enjoying their own unrestricted access.
