In the commercial market, large offices, schools, hospitals and other public places, this is a simple solution to a real problem and has huge potential.įor more info and to purchase, head over to the Lindy port blocker webpage.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. In the domestic market, I don’t think these will be that popular unless you like the tidy look OR you have children you want to restrict. I did gently try and remove the blocker with a pair of pliers and a screw driver, without luck, although if you gave it some welly, you may have success in removing the blocker BUT it’s most certain you’ll damage the port in doing so. The blockers sit flush or within the port, depending on the device but as they come in a bold, vibrant colour, they are easily noticeable, which is where that deterrent function comes into play.įor me and my laptop, the blockers sat within the recess of the port, which meant there was no way of me easily pulling the blocker out with my fingers. Once in, push the button on top of the key to secure the port in place. Installing the blocker couldn’t be easier, it’s just a case of applying a blocker to the key and then carefully inserting into the port. You can purchase a pack of 4 locks, with 1 key for £20, with add on packs of blockers in 10s or 20s for between £15 and £20 a pack.
They come in a variety of colours, so you can assign the colours to different appliances or different ports etc. Lindy currently offer four different port blockers, including USB type A & C, RJ-45 and SD card. “Port blockers are visual deterrents that seamlessly fit into a variety of environments and provide a physical barrier to unauthorised access”. You’ve probably seen an action movie, the good guys put a USB stick into a bad guys server and steals all their money or something? If only the bad guys had port blockers! We all know how important online security is nowadays but physical security is just as important. I can see this being used by the masses, so had to try it out and see what all the fuss was about.
Lindy have designed a number of port blockers for your PC, laptop, tablet or server, which do exactly that, they block your port inputs, restricting usage.
This is such a simple solution, to potentially quite a large problem, especially in certain applications.
