X-NetStat Professional cannot be called the Cadillac of Internet connection software. Instead, it's more like a hot rod. Pure performance with little attention to appearances. For users obsessed with the minute details of their connection, it might be the best test drive of their life.
This program gives users deep access to their computer's Internet connection. An easy-to-measure bandwidth gauge constantly runs, as does a list of all programs and Web sites in action and how much space they are taking. Digging deeper into the program's options, users will find an incredible amount of statistics detailing bytes, IP, and more that give a clear overall picture to those able to understand the data. We have tested several other models that give useless graphs or even monitor the computer's overall memory in addition to Internet connection. X-NetStar Professional appeals to users who know how to find that information elsewhere. By stripping away the unrelated frills, a wealth of raw data is available.
X-NetStat Professional does not even attempt to cater to novices. For serious users with a deep knowledge of Internet connections, this all-business program is a good addition to your toolbox.
Publisher's Description
From Fresh Software:
X-NetStat Professional displays information on your current Internet and network connections in a graphical interface. These connections are established each time you visit a web page, send an instant message, check your email, or anytime you do network activity that requires you to connect to another computer. They also appear when outside computers attempt to connect to your machine, authorized or not. Information shown includes local and remote addresses, local and remote ports, the status, the age of the connection, how much bandwidth or traffic the connection is using, and the program EXE behind it. It's kind of like Internet or network radar. The Professional edition of X-NetStat offers a ton of additional features that are geared towards Network Administrators for their tasks of monitoring and managing networks. X-NetStat Professional contains powerful features like a Rules system that lets you set up actions based on network conditions, a comprehensive Network Statistics window displaying information on network interfaces and protocols, a server that lets you access XNS information remotely, a collection of Lookup Tools (TraceRoute, WHOIS, Finger, DNS, Web Search, Server Version, NetBIOS Lookup, Online Tools, etc), a Port Database, Logging capabilities, transmission LED lights, and dockable ViewBar.

"They should be upfront about this."
Version: X-NetStat Professional 5.48
Pros
Functionally, it is exactly what I'm looking for.
Cons
I bought this before installing it. (Where's the smiley for kicking oneself?) When I run the installer, here's this stuff in the installation and registration license agreement:
"When you use this software... the following information about your computer is recorded into the Fresh Software User Registration Database:
Computers current Date/Time,
Program Name and Version,
Registration Key,
Computer Name,
Computers Internal IP address,
Username logged onto Computer,
Operating Systems Registered Owner,
Operating Systems Registered Organization,
Computers Operating System type and version,
Computers current date/time,
Computers Timezone Setting,
Computers Country Setting,
Computers External IP address,
and your Internet Service Providers hostname.
For registered users, the above information will also be posted to our user registration database ON A REGULAR PERIODIC BASIS [my caps] in order to update our registered user usage records. The post will not show up in the connection table..."
Uh, tested spyware free? Nevermind how you define that, it should be mentioned in the review. Some of this is just the kind of stuff I want to avoid sending out and that's one reason for buying such software in the first place. And the software will omit it's own activity from the monitoring:
"...The post will not show up in the connection table." Why not?
