Quick Start Guide

This is a step-by-step Guide how to begin a work in TrafMeter. You should be familiar with TCP/IP technologies to create rules for a traffic counting. However, to better understand a conception of TrafMeter we provide this Guide. Assume that our goal is to monitor traffic from your PC to your proxy-server 192.168.190.11.

  1. Install WinPcap driver and reboot your PC. Start TrafMeter and select a network adapter (in other words, select a captured device for IP packets):
  2. Invoke a Filter Manager by clicking button on the toolbar
  3. In the Filter Manager click on a button Add filter... to create a new filter
  4. The Filter Editor will be invoked. Click on a button Add rule... to create a counting rule in the filter
  5. In the Rule Editor select My computer in the Source address combobox and A specific IP address in the Destination address combobox. Type IP address of your proxy server (e.g., 192.168.190.11) and click on OK button
  6. Make sure that the new rule has been appeared in the list of rules in the Filter Editor. Click on OK button to return to the Filter Manager
  7. Click on the Start button and make some traffic from your PC to target server (192.168.190.11)
