Default Limit internet traffic when connected to 3G - 01-21-2009, 04:20 PM

Hey people,

I have the Dell Mini 9 on Vodafone. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to limit the network traffic to just stuff from my browser or selected applications?

Thanks,
iBeech

A software firewall might give you that kind of flexibility.

You could always use a program called Little Snitch to tell you what's connecting to the internet and limit permissions.

Are you using the Dell/Ericsson connection manager?
I think Vodafone made some changes to their network. Your problem might go away if you switch back to the vodafone software.
