Hello, your father aims to set internet data limits for office users to ensure fairness and restrict access to non-work sites during business hours. You’re looking into ways to implement these rules—either through software on Windows Server or by using hardware like routers/firewalls. There are options available; you can use free or paid tools designed for network management to control data usage, or you may need to deploy devices with built-in controls. Let me know if you’d like more details!

Premium routers typically include QoS capabilities; consider managed switches if budget or network scale demands it.

Does the Windows Server device manage your network? If not, it won't be able to do so. This task must be performed at the router level.
