Survey (sort of)! Merge Connections / Bandwidth / Map pages #114

Closed wokhan closed 3 years ago

wokhan commented 4 years ago

While using the latest alpha, I wondered why I initially split the connections listing, bandwidth monitoring and real time map pages, while all info pertain to the same connections. I wonder if it would not be smarter to merge the three in a Monitoring page, showing the bandwidth directly on the same screen (with a kind of mini graphs for each process?), and allowing the map to be shown / hidden on demand right below it. Your thoughts, everybody?

Please change the frontpage of the application from "connections" to "firewall settings".

That aside, merging "connections", "bandwidth" and "map" in the way you describe is a very good idea if this page respondes fast.

I'm not using the map at all. :)

Thank you @hoasis2, I'll add an option to pick the default page. And be sure it will be fast (alpha was already faster, and there was other improvements since).

I think what you describe sounds good, but really, Im not too picky. This is my favorite software of this type and mostly just want to give you some encouragement.
