Hi
Firstly, thx for a great app!
I started using google's Data Compression Proxy https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-compression-proxy/ajfiodhbiellfpcjjedhmmmpeeaebmep?hl=en-GB as I have very limited monthly bandwidth.
The numbers NetWorx returns match what the provider says I use pretty well, although they do seem to overestimate data used:
Vodacom: 1088.04 MB (Vodafone South Africa)
NetWorx: 1047 MB
Difference 41 MB
Of that 360 MB compressed or 871 MB uncompressed came through my Chrome browser according to Google Data Compression Proxy.
Assuming NetWorx measures uncompressed data: 1047 - 871 = 176 MB snuck past my browser as AV updates etc.
If NetWorx measures compressed data: 1047 - 360 = 687 MB snuck past my browser!?
Difference of 41 MB
Through browser according to Google Data Compression Proxy: 187 MB compressed = 423 MB uncompressed.
Assuming NetWorx measures uncompressed data: 1047 - 871 = 176 MB snuck past my browser as AV updates etc.
Assuming NetWorx measures compressed data: 1047 - 360 = 687 MB snuck past my browser!
Unfortunately I didn't zero NetWorx before the experiment so cant say which app used what, but Avira used a lot and then 'svchost'.
Scans with Avira, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Adwarecleaner etc and some anti rootkit apps show nothing, so I assume both NetWorx and Vodacom are reading uncompressed data?
If so, is there any app that reads compressed data so I can catch em at it and cause a stink on social media etc?
Thx again
