Options

Using the Options dialog you can set several NetLimiter 2 options. To show the dialog, click on the "Options" menu item located at the top of the main menu of the NetLimiter 2 Client. The window is divided into two panes - left and right. The left pane behaves like a tab control. There are two tabs available now, "General" and "Client". The right pane contains options associated with selected tab.

General tab:

Firewall enabled: If checked, the personal firewall is enabled. If unchecked, all connection requests are allowed.
Default firewall action: This options is active only if the personal firewall is enabled. If there is no firewall rule for a given application or connection NetLimiter 2 firewall uses this action.
Limiter enabled: If checked, the limiter is enabled. If not checked, set limits will not be functional.
Ignore UDP: If checked, then limiter will work only with TCP protocol traffic. UDP traffic will be bypassed by limiter internal engine.
Run client on logon for users, who are allowed to control traffic: If checked, NetLimiter 2 Client will start automatically for each user, who has permission to control traffic. (look at the permissions editor for more info about permissions)
Run client on logon for users, who are allowed to monitor traffic: If checked, NetLimiter 2 Client will start automatically for each user, who has permission to monitor traffic.
Network autoconfiguration: If checked, NetLimiter 2 doesn't need to ask user if new network is found û NetLimiter 2 will assign zone to found network automatically.
