I haven't used it, but this:

...might be worth looking at.  I have no idea if it's useful, or even
possible to use, in your friend's environment.

If he doesn't need connectivity while he's working, but the simplest remedy
may be to unplug his workstation's network connection.  YMMV; for instance,
unplugging a workstation in my facility is a bannable offense.  ;)
