Limits

You can use NetLimiter 2 to set download or upload transfer rate limits for applications, connections or groups of them. With limits you can easily manage your internet connection?s bandwidth (bandwidth shaper) and share it among all applications running on your computer.

Grants

Grant is a brand-new feature in NetLimiter 2. It could seem similar to limits, but it works differently. When you set grant for application or connection, then it means that you grant specified bandwidth for it. If other application/connections take too much bandwidth, then it is taken from them and is given to application/connection with granted bandwidth.

Network monitor

Personal firewall functionality

You can allow or deny certain applications to connect to or from any network or zone (see below).

Zones

For example, you can limit the traffic rate of your browser downloading from the Internet and let it download from intranet at full speed. Later we will add tool for defining you cutom zones.

Filters

With filters you can define groups of connections or applications and then apply rules to them. You can for example set DL/UL limit only for a specific IP address range or for a group of two or more applications.
