❔ limit network usage of a process
is it posible to limit the network usage of a certain process? and if it is how can it be done?

there are different ways to achieve this. One is to use the Windows Firewall API.
Exactly how you might write a method to limit the network usage of a process depends on what exactly you want to do.
well I got a forms up and eas thinking of having a textbox where I could type the limit in bytes and activate that when the checkbox is checked.
also the process i want to limit will be hard coded somewhere
public static void LimitNetworkUsage(process process, long limitBytes)
{
// Set the process's priority
process.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.BelowNormal;
// Set the process's ProcessorAffinity
process.ProcessorAffinity = (IntPtr)1;
// set the limitBytes
process.MaxWorkingSet = new IntPtr(limitBytes);
}
public static void RemoveLimit(process process)
{
// Set the process's priority
process.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.Normal;
// Remove the limit
process.MaxWorkingSet = new IntPtr(-1);
}
These two methods must be able to add and delete a network usage limit for a process
thanks ✌🏻
Don't use ChatGPT to answer people's questions... that limits the memory usage, not network. ChatGPT is basically always wrong
