Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer products for event driven and timer-driven network service switching. Exemplary embodiments include a network-switching method, including establishing a connection with a network via a network adapter, monitoring the adapter for a connection status with the network, generating a first block of network traffic over the network adapter and blocking a second block of network traffic over the network adapter.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for controlling wireless network connection access are described. The device includes a processor for executing instructions, and multiple network adapters for operatively connecting to multiple networks. The device includes a wireless network connection monitoring application for controlling access to the multiple networks via the processor, and the monitoring application is configured to monitor the multiple network adapters. The device also includes a monitor file that has permissions for services to communicate on the multiple networks, and the monitoring application allows or denies access to the multiple networks via the plurality of network adapters based on the permissions for the services in the monitor file.
