Policing employee websurfing?

Question

I have a student who I have an agreement with that after work she can use the Internet in the office for private websurfing. The problem is that the trust is being abused and she surfs a lot during work. Is there a freeware application I could install that would block the sites she visits a lot that are not essential for her work during working hours.

Some hardware routers like D-link can turn off Internet access from a specific time.  I'm not sure of the specific model, but i have seen it.  Check it out on the D-link website, or email sales support, they will help for sure.

Or tell her, use it, but don't abuse it, or she'll lose it.
