With the Activity sidebar, you'll be able to see which applications are currently communicating over your network. When connections are idle, they will dim to let you know that traffic has stopped. - App bandwidth usage:
Rubbernet provides a breakdown of per-app network usage, so you can quickly detect apps that phone home, connect to certain servers without your knowledge, or blame the app that's slowing down your network. - Live graphs:
Real-time charting displays download and upload transfer rates for all active apps on all monitored Macs. Visualize your network usage and get a bead on network hogs before they get out of control. - Remote monitoring:
Monitor all computers on your network from one Rubbernet instance on your Mac. No need to get up and open Rubbernet on a remote Mac to see its network statistics. Unlike other network monitoring tools, there is no complicated setup. It takes just a second to install or uninstall the necessary tools for Rubbernet to work. After that, they sit quietly in the background and provide the app with live data with minimal resource consumption. - Multi-user support:
Have multiple user accounts on your Macs? Rubbernet automatically assigns every incoming and outgoing connections to the users they belong to. - One-click install/uninstall:

It seems impossible to get the historical network activity from an application if it is marked as inactive.
So, for example you open an application that you suspect dialed home and want to know here it dialed, well if its marked 'inactive' then you are out of luck.
Uninstalling the 'helper' is done by clicking a button entitled "INSTALL helper", err OK, that makes no sense.
Little Snitch is so much better, and actually works.
I suspect the price of this will come down once it finishes it promotion as part of a bundled. Its currently a $40 value, inflating the bundle price.
At $5 I would not buy, I'm sorry but it just does not work at the moment...

Features are OK, could be a lot better for the price.
It also has a two terrible bugs:
- Causes a kernel panics
- Doesn't recognize non-native network interfaces.
Rubbernet is not ready for prime time.

Yes, I have found that the background daemon also consumes a wack of CPU resources especially if you also have Little Snitch and Hands Off running.
I have not seen the "hover overs" being resolved nor any ability to again justify the pricing based on Little Snitch or Hands Off with less functionality.
What is does; it seems to do well albeit with a performance hit.
Better value is still Little Snitch and Hands Off for functionality and pricing. I do like the display of RubberNet ....

perhaps the developer should consider using a daemon-less approach so that the app only monitors network usage when the app is open. personally, i don't really need it to monitor the network at all times; just when the app is open sufficient.

Overall the tool looks nice; rollover on some IP address does not show URL while others do; some other inconsistencies but since this is version 1.0 and to coincident with the "concept of introductory" pricing - the pricing is too high especially in EURs.
To be fair I have only played with it for about one hour and it was interesting to see the traffic but Little Snitch and Hands off do somewhat the same but they do have rules that allow blocking.
It would be nice if this also had that capability as well as "killing" a session plus capturing to a log file and as saving the graph. Might be worth the 30 EURs.
At least it has not crashed or failed to start. Have not been able to test any other Macs as far as remote monitoring nor the "multi-user" mode in a small way since it did show me my id, root, and one other id.

I would call this cowardly and not valid and as before should not be allowed.
