Just installed the app, it works great!
I would like to suggest an option in the settings to be able to set the network interface manually. I'm using VPN so there are two active network connections.

Hey @blueport87 thank you for your suggestion.

Even with 2 online connections, windows has to choose only one as the active network for data transfer.
So wouldn't it be ideal to have just the active connection shown? or am i missing something here? Feel free to clarify if i am.

I'm not entirely sure but VPN creates a virtual network interface and all apps can send data though it.

This is how it looks on my machine. There are two active network connections.
It somehow worked for the first time but now the app either does not count traffic (shows status as disconnected) or crashes when I change VPN connection (connect/disconnect).

Thank you for the report @blueport87, it looks like your vpn is a Tunnel adapter and unfortunately at the moment this program does not support it. I will add this support in the near future.
And ill add the option to select the network interface as well.

Hey @blueport87, i just released v0.6.0 with some updates to having multiple active connections.
I did not implement selecting between 2 active interfaces, but it should detect the one which windows is using atm.

this version should not crash when changing the VPN connection. could you test it and let me know.
If its still a problem ill try implementing the option to select between network interfaces
