Connection Explorer update adds new ways to see where -- and why -- your PC is sending data
Stardock has released an updated beta of Connection Explorer, the Windows app it first launched a month ago that lets users can see and understand all of the network activity on their PCs. The new update adds additional ways to view bandwidth usage and connection history, giving users a better understanding of where the data is going and -- even more importantly -- why.
Connection Explorer shows every network connection a PC makes in real time and turns background activity into something readable. It allows users to see which apps and processes are communicating online and where those connections terminate.
Connection Explorer shows where your PC is sending data in real time
Stardock has launched a new application for Windows called Connection Explorer, a beta tool designed to reveal and visualize every network connection made by a PC. Aimed at improving data transparency, it allows users to monitor, understand, and control how their devices communicate online.
The software maps out every connection a computer makes, transforming complex background activity into a readable visual interface. Stardock says the goal is to give users direct insight into how data flows between their systems and the internet, removing the guesswork from identifying unfamiliar or unwanted activity.
