For months, my internet connection has been humming along on Verizon LTE 4G at decent speeds and using about 0.4 MB per day. The problem: suddenly last month and so far this month I have seen usage increase to nearly 1 GB per day. Considering that a data boost with Verizon is $35/GB, I would like to determine the source of this sudden increased usage. All this while only browsing news sites and dealing with email - no streaming of any kind. Only light browsing periodically during the day along with the email traffic, mainly from newsletter subscriptions
Thus my interest in and messaging within, drcard's current thread about "Find Out Who Your PC Is Talking To." Can anyone suggest software or a technique that could help me identify the source of excess data usage? I am hoping the PowerShell scan, once I can get it to work, might give me some insight into unneeded traffic and, perhaps, some correlation to the usage issue.
I have been monitoring overall usaqe by app with the data usage screen in Windows 10 but that is not specific enough. I have been using Glasswire which monitors in real time and shows usage by process but it is difficult to link that info with apps/software, etc. in order to cancel anything to significantly reduce the usage. Task manager doesn't fill the need either. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
