The traffic recording tool is a very useful tool, with this tool you can know if the filter blocks at a certain action, which addresses / requests are blocked, and more, to facilitate the support system, NetFree recommends that you attach a pre-recorded traffic record on any request that there is a possibility that the recording will be helpful.

NetFree does not hold any information about the surfing done by the user, other than agreeing to this by activating the traffic recording tool until the end of its operation. The information collected by the tool is stored in a private link, the link can be sent to the support system, or any other person, the link is in the exclusive possession of the user and it's his choice of whether to share it with someone. Data can not be accessed without it.

Launching the tool

We recommend that you close as many non-faulty applications/web pages as possible to help isolate the problem.
Please note: It records all the communication that takes place while recording between your Internet and network, including VOIP lines, as well as computers and other devices that connect through your router.

[1] Go to your NetFree account and under "Tools" choose "Internet traffic recording" (direct link), then click on "Start record".

[2] Run the program/webpage until it comes to the malfunction or obstruction.
[3] To pause or stop recording, press "Stop Recording", if you want to add to the recording, click on "Continue Record".

[4] After stopping the recording, click on "Save Recording".

[5] The link shown can be copied (right click on the link> "Copy URL Link" or click on לחץ כאן כדי להעתיק את הלינק) and send to the support system.

[6] The link you copied, paste inside the body of the message in your request.

Recommendations to facilitate the handling of the request

In order to facilitate the support system, NetFree recommends that:

• Try to make the recording close to the time of the problem (ie, don't start recording after "it starts to cause problems", but a moment before opening the website or running the software that has the symptom/blockage).
• On the other hand, try to keep the recording short: do not start the recording ten minutes before opening the website or running the software, but a second before that, and end the recording immediately after the failure.
• It is best that all kinds of applications and web pages that communicate with the network are not active - this recommendation applies to long recordings.
• Disconnect from the Internet all other devices connected to the same account.
