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 checkbox is faded and I cannot check it. How do I make it so that I am able to 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.
