NetBalancer is a well-known Windows software for monitoring and managing local network traffic. There are tools that help to thoroughly check bandwidth usage and detect potential issues.
Control
This is a powerful network traffic control instrument with which users can effectively handle internet bandwidth. It is possible not only to keep track of incoming and outgoing packets but also limit and prioritize their speed ensuring stable performance for assigned tasks. On top of that, the program includes an option to create and save custom rules for quick and convenient switches of settings.
By controlling traffic, you are able to set network parameters for your downloads and uploads as well as prevent lags during intensive activities that require stable internet. Similar to Portable Wireshark, there are graphs and charts that display network performance in real-time. This information allows you to see how well your bandwidth works at the moment and detect any problems.
Block
There is an option to block specific apps or processes from accessing the internet for security and privacy reasons. NetBalancer helps you prevent your sensitive data from leaking to unauthorized services, especially if you download and install suspicious utilities with trojan virus or other tracking tools.
Additionally, it is possible to set a reliable password to network settings. This way only you are able to modify configurations and adjust profiles.
