OpenNetMeter - A Free Application to Monitor Your Network's Bandwidth Usage
If you want to monitor your network's bandwidth usage, you can use OpenNetMeter. This simple program is designed for Windows users, and it displays tabele containing the processes that use your Internet connection. It can also monitor the amount of data that is sent and received over the internet. You can set up OpenNetMeter to start automatically each time your computer starts. Once installed, you can monitor your network traffic in the background, too.
OpenNetMeter can monitor the current network speed, the total data used since the application detected the new connection, and individual processes that consume data. Its clear and direct interface is ideal for users who want to monitor data usage. The free version, GlassWire, is a great alternative. NetWorx, BitMeter OS, and NetSpeedMonitor are also good alternatives. If you're looking for an alternative to OpenNetMeter, you may want to try these.
The OpenNetMeter interface is simple, sleek, and modern. Instead of integrating into your taskbar, it uses an icon that sits in the taskbar notification area (also called the taskbar corner in Windows 11). OpenNetMeter's interface shows network usage and data, as well as the number of applications that are using your network. If you don't want to use the graphical interface, you can customize the tabs on the toolbar to see how much data each application is downloading and uploading.
