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
NetLimiter 2 shows list of all applications communicating over network it's connections and transfer rates.
Personal firewall functionality
You can allow or deny certain applications to connect to or from any network or zone (see below).
Zones
NetLimiter 2 monitors and controls traffic separately on three predefined zones - My Computer, Local Network and Internet. For example, you can limit the traffic rate of your browser downloading from the Internet and let it download from intranet at full speed.
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.
Rule editor and scheduler
Rule editor helps you to create advanced rules. For example, you can create limit or firewall rule for a group of applications which is valid only in a given time interval (=you can schedule limits, grants and fw rules).
Network manager
Using Network manager you can assign found networks to NetLimiter 2 zones and specify bandwidth of these networks, especially speed of your connection to the internet.
Stats
Similarly to NetLimiter 1.x stats, NetLimiter 2 stats module is intended for long-term measurement of internet traffic. This feature lets you to track your internet traffic history since you've installed NetLimiter 2. There will be several improvements, for example the possibility to export stats data periodically to a html document and present it on the web.
Charts
Zone chart indicating traffic is included now (Zone Stats module). Graph of application traffic rate will be included soon.
Remote administration
This feature will be included soon. You will be able to control and monitor other computers remotely from one place.
Infos
This feature will be included soon. Similarly to NetLimiter 1.x version, NetLimiter 2 will provide you with and additional information like WHOIS, traceroute etc.
Logs
