Network connections can be restricted, individual programs can be completely disconnected from the Internet. Besides these functions, there are lots of statistics, e.g. how much data a certain application has transferred to the internet. The software costs between 20 and 30 euros, depending on the version. There is a Lite version and a Pro version. The software can be tested for 30 days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limit the bandwidth of certain programs or block them completely.
