TCP Monitor

TCP Monitor is a lightweight software solution designed to show all TCP connections and display additional information such as local and remote ports.

With a simple and quick installation, TCP Monitor isn't quite the kind of application addressed to rookies and there's not even a help manual to provide assistance in case it's needed.

On the other hand, it provides multiple tools to experienced users, starting with an eye-candying interface that makes everything easy to use.

The main window shows details such as process name and ID, local address, local port, remote address, remote port and status. Of course, the user is able to kill either a process or the whole tree, close the connection, as well as to add a certain entry to black list or to copy the address just by right clicking on a specific process.

There's not much to configure about TCP Monitor because the options menu is minimal and provides just a bunch of settings, such as update interval and logging.

Last but not least, TCP Monitor boasts a quick statistics menu that shows a number of figures such as minimum and maximum timeout, maximum connections, total connections reset, segments received and currently established connections.

With a minimum footprint on CPU and RAM and without affecting performance at all, TCP Monitor works well on all Windows editions, but Windows 7 users need administrator privileges to kill certain processes.

TCP Monitor may come in handy to many users out there and with a few improvements here and there it could easily become a top product.
