Visit| Fact | NetBalancer | NetHogs |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | NetBalancer monitors a computer’s network traffic and lets users set traffic limits, priorities, and rules. | NetHogs is a small “net top” tool that groups network bandwidth by process instead of by protocol or subnet. |
| Support | The purchase includes free support, including activation-code recovery. | The installation instructions invite users with problems to contact [email protected]. |
It suits Windows users who need per-process traffic controls, monitoring, automation, or remote management. The free version fits monitoring, while priorities and rules require registration.
NetHogs suits users who want to find which process is behind network traffic, especially on Linux. Mac OS X and FreeBSD users can see connections but not the processes behind them.
