Network Activity Indicator
What it is
Network Activity Indicator is a free Windows utility that displays incoming and outgoing network packet activity. When run, its standalone executable adds a classic two-monitor icon to the system tray, covering all available network interfaces. Right-click the icon to open the program settings. Version 1.9 is offered as 32-bit and 64-bit ZIP downloads, as well as self-install executables; the listed downloads are dated February 28, 2026. The page also provides language files and instructions for installing a translation by placing NetworkIndicator.lng beside the program. IT Samples permits home or work use without a commercial license fee when its stated conditions are met, including downloading directly from itsamples.com. That permission does not cover every use: redistribution, embedding or linking the program with another application, and use for technical support on customer computers require a commercial license. The site identifies Igor Tolmachev as the developer of its utilities and directs support and new-version questions to [email protected].
