If you're running a cyber cafe with decent number of terminals, at times you may feel the necessity to track all the users in a better way. Generally, this work is done manually and sometimes correct tracking and billing is not possible due to absence of any automated system to do the same. Fortunately, there's a free and effective solution to this problem.
HandyCafe is an excellent cyber cafe management software with loads of features that are at par with commercial solutions. It comes in two parts - server and client. Install the server on your monitoring and billing computer, while client part is installed on user terminals.
Once both parts are configured, you're ready to offer the best service to your cyber cafe users. HandyCafe supports network monitoring, time-tracking, billing and cafe members' management.
You can remotely administer all the client computers with time-out sessions. I particularly liked the USB lock mechanism that enables you to remotely enable/disable client computer's USB ports to avert installation of any malicious software.
You can also create keyword-based filters to prevent opening of certain web sites. Automated warning popup messages are supported to ask users to discontinue browsing such sites. A complete billing management solution ensures your cafe members are charged correctly without any dispute. You can remotely reboot, shutdown and can monitor their desktop screens to observe any suspicious activity.
HandyCafe is completely free and comes with lifetime license without any restriction. I've tested it on a home network of 3 computers and it worked exactly the same as it is claimed. Worth a try!
