It is not difficult to find out how much traffic was received and sent over a certain period of time. It can be easily checked using the software specially designed for this. This can be useful if the tariff package for Internet access assumes a per megabyte payment for traffic.
Necessary
- - PC with Windows OS installed;
- - access to a PC with administrator rights;
- - a firewall configured taking into account the permission of the installed software.
Instructions
Step 1
Download a free traffic accounting software. For example, it could be NetWorx software. On the developer's website, you can download two versions of the program: Portable and Installer. The first option involves launching the program without installation; in the second case, the program must be installed. For the convenience of further work, download the Portable version.
Step 2
In any partition folder where custom documents are stored, create a NetWorx folder. For convenience, you can create it on a flash card to be able to run the program on different PCs. Unpack the archive downloaded from the developer's site into the created folder. Go into it and run the networx.exe file.
Step 3
When starting the program for the first time, adjust the basic parameters for further work. Select the most appropriate language for displaying text in program windows and the network adapter whose traffic you want to check. If there are several adapters, you can check the "All connections" item, which allows you to control all traffic on the PC. Click Finish.
Step 4
The NetWorx icon appears in the system tray. Double-click on it - the main window will open containing all the statistics. To view more detailed information, go to the corresponding tab.
