GabNetStats is a handy swiss-knife tool for managing your network interfaces and showing and statistics. Featuring an old-school but very missed blinking network status icon in the system tray, network traffic graph, and advanced network statistics.
- Adds an icon in the statusbar for a visual hint of network traffic
- Detailed statistics about network connections
- Context menu for easy access to network configuration
- Real-time network graph
GabTracker : https://github.com/gabsoftware/GabTracker This is the .NET control of the graph. It does not track you! It is poorly named.
GabNetStats targets net10.0-windows10.0.26100.0 so builds require the .NET 10 SDK with the Windows desktop workload and Windows SDK 10.0.26100 or newer. The project metadata keeps the supported Windows API baseline at Windows 7 (6.1) for both GabNetStats and GabTracker; the Windows 10 target platform version is the SDK/API reference version, not the declared minimum OS baseline.
- Clone this repository in one directory
- Clone the GabTracker repository at the same level, so that both cloned repositories are located in the same directory.
For example:
C:\mydir\
|- GabNetStats
|- GabTracker
- Open the GabNetStats solution in Visual Studio 2026
- If it cannot find the GabTracker project, in the solution, add an existing project and choose the GabTracker project
- Generate the solution
- GabNetStats should build without errors.
Alternatively, you can build GabNetStats from the command line:
cd C:\mydir\GabNetStats
dotnet build -c Release .\GabNetStats.sln

This program will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless specifically requested by the user or the person installing or operating it.
GabNetStats has no telemetry, analytics or automatic update check. Its only network activity is the optional auto-ping feature, which is disabled by default; when enabled in the settings, it periodically pings a host that the user chooses. Links in the About dialog open in your web browser only when clicked.
