Abstract
A secure programable timer allows connections to the internet via a phone line or a network during a programmed specific time range. A timer is set to close the connection from a computer (or telephone) to the phone line or network during a programmed time span. The computer is not connected to the phone line or network outside of the programmed time span. A timer motor rotates a timer that has programmable devices that interact with a gear to close the connection between the computer and the phone/network line during the programmed time, and to open the connection at times not in the programmed time range. A cover is secured over the timer and connection to the phone/network line to prevent a bypass connection to the phone/network line.
