|
| example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not |
|
|
| using it. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this |

|
| function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your |
