Software Update: BWMeter 2.2.1

Desksoft released version 2.2.1 of BWMeter a few days ago. With this program the data traffic to and from the computer or on the network can be monitored. The special thing about this program is that it can analyze data packets. This way it can see where it comes from, where it is going, and which port and protocol are used. In this way, a distinction can be made between local and internet traffic. It is also possible to use filters to monitor data traffic to and from certain internet sites, for example. The changelog since version 2.0.0 looks like this:
