Can't monitor applications because "Ignore local traffic" option is inactive

Started by Sean

I am trying to see what applications use the most data on my laptop. When I go to the apps page it says I need to click the checkbox "Ignore local traffic within the LAN." When I go to settings however the check box is faded and I cannot check it. How do I make it to where I am able the check it off?

"Ignore local traffic" option can be inactive for one of the following reasons:
  • You are using the portable edition. This feature is unavailable in the portable build. Use the installer instead; or
  • Antivirus or a similar product prevented the LAN traffic filtering driver from being installed; or
  • You had chosen not to install the LAN traffic filtering driver at the time of installation, which disabled this feature.
Hope this helps.
