BWMeter is an innovative program that can monitor, control, and analyze all the traffic between your computer and the internet/LAN. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly data usage limits as well as real-time charts using this application.
This software sits in your system tray and offers various options, such as filter settings and alert notifications. Furthermore, multiple instances can run concurrently to analyze load distribution on remote networks.
Monitors your network traffic
BWMeter is an intelligent bandwidth meter, monitor, traffic controller and firewall designed to assist the user in monitoring data packets (where they come from, where they go and which port and protocol they use) as they travel from source to destination and even restrict specific internet sites from access. Furthermore, this powerful solution produces statistics for each computer in your network including their LAN transfer rate as well as download/upload speeds on and offline.
This program is easy to set up, offering a powerful range of features suitable for novice users as well as experts and administrators. Filter data by network address, port and application; show threats such as hackers and viruses on the internet; monitor all connected computers simultaneously – this makes it an excellent tool both for home users and small to large businesses looking for an overview of bandwidth usage as well as being an excellent tool for administrators looking to keep tabs on download/upload statistics from all of them simultaneously.
Compatible with all Windows versions (XP and later), this service runs quietly in the background without compromising system performance and can easily be accessed from either system tray or main window. It supports various network connection types including LAN, WAN, VPN, ADSL/xDSL/Modem and Dial-Up connections as well as real-time graphs of network traffic with notification when internet or LAN traffic hits certain thresholds peaks.
Controls your network traffic
No matter if you are an individual looking to assess their bandwidth use or an SMB looking to monitor network traffic and balance speed across multiple computers, BWMeter provides an accurate interface and plenty of features suitable for novice users as well as more experienced IT specialists.
This program can analyze data packets to detect their source and destination locations as well as which ports they utilize. This allows it to differentiate between local and internet traffic as well as giving you control of both kinds of connections with speed limits set for various kinds of connections or blocking apps from connecting until given permission by you.
Another outstanding aspect of this program is its ability to generate network statistics for all aspects of traffic – both LAN traffic as well as internet download/upload activity. You can define filters to show specific IP addresses (for instance, how much download from news servers you are doing).
This software is free and compatible with all versions of Windows from XP to 10. With minimal system impact and an extensive settings dialog that lets you customize virtually every aspect of its operation, this program won’t hinder performance or stability on your PC.
Works as a firewall
A firewall is a piece of software that monitors incoming and outgoing network data, then blocks or allows access according to predefined rules. It protects a private network from malware and hacking attacks, and stops unauthorized users from accessing it. A number of such firewalls exist, but BWMeter stands out among them all by offering several features which make its usage easy for businesses of all sizes.
This program can assist with visualizing network traffic by providing real time graphs and alerts. It supports multiple network interfaces including LAN, WAN, Dial-Up, ADSL, Cable Modem, xDSL VPN as well as more – in addition it can filter out pings as well as monitor servers/internet connections etc.
BWMeter goes beyond simply providing data usage stats by analyzing every packet that enters and leaves your computer, including their source, destination, port number and protocol type. This allows it to distinguish between local and internet traffic for easy download control. You can set restrictions that help manage data flows more effectively while customizing BWMeter to fit seamlessly into the system tray if desired.
Works as a bandwidth meter
BWMeter is an advanced bandwidth meter, monitor, traffic controller and firewall designed specifically for Windows-based computer systems. It measures, displays and controls appointments made between personal computers or networks on your network and your personal computer or personal device. Furthermore, unlike competing products it analyzes info packets (where they come from/go and which port and protocol they utilize).
BWMeter provides many useful functions. One such function is monitoring individual network connections or all at the same time; setting speed limits for LAN and Internet traffic; as well as showing real-time charts of network activity and filter options to monitor only data types you care about.
BWMeter is an excellent tool to have on hand for anyone wanting to keep track of how much bandwidth they are using. Easy to set up, using very few CPU and memory resources, BWMeter won’t impede system performance either – plus its free trial period makes it an attractive choice. Another reliable option for monitoring networks or Internet usage would be using a router which displays how much bandwidth each device is consuming; some can even provide alerts if their use exceeds certain thresholds.
