I know this might not be the kind of answer you may want,  but would doing
something with cron at those times not be the easiest option?

For instance schedule a script to run at 11pm that takes the default
gateway out and schedule another to put it back in when you want to enable
net access again.  Maybe running ever so often to check its still gone to
persist Reboots.

I'm assuming that the user's do not have root access as installing a
package could easily be circumvented of they had anyway.

Thanks,
Simon
