What would you like to add or change?:

Would it be possible for Portmaster to measure not only the number of connection requests from an app, but also the volume of data uploaded/downloaded by those connections? For example, Windows Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage shows how much data is being used by Firefox and Brave, but not which websites are using the most of that data.

Why do you and others need this?:

This could be particularly useful for users on metered networks, where it is critical to be able to identify data-intensive connections. (Also, Windows Data Usage monitoring will differentiate between various userspace apps, but then a generic "System" for all OS-related connections, and it could be useful to know which OS programs are sending/receiving large amounts of data.)

Oh ok thanks, sorry to waste your time! Most Pro features I can see in the app, such as SPN and connection history, with a handy tag indicating they're Pro-only features so us Free users know we should upgrade, but I hadn't seen anything about data usage so I didn't realize it was already included!
