How to Audit Per-Process Network Bandwidth on Windows and Linux
Track down hidden network hogs, cloud sync daemons, and unexplained telemetry spikes with Resource Monitor, PowerShell NetTCPConnection, Linux nethogs, and NetSniffer.
Network utilities help you see what your connection is actually doing — bandwidth, traffic, and per-process activity — using lightweight local inspection rather than cloud collection. They are designed to run quietly in the background and answer a single question well.
