NetLimiter InfoBar is free of charge tool for NetLimiter users, which's purpose is to display most important NetLimiter information directly on system's Taskbar.

System requirements

InfoBar needs working NetLimiter installation in order to run. Currently, only Windows 10 64bit systems are supported.

Unfortunately, taskbar toolbars are disabled on Windows 11 (we are working on a different solution).

Installation

InfoBar is packaged and distributed in its own installer.

For versions 4.0.69 and older, please use version 1.1.

For versions 4.1.0 and newer, please use version 1.43.0.

NOTE: When updating from older to newer version, we recommend to manually uninstall the older version and after that start the installation of new version.

After successful installation process you need to manually enable it:

  1. Right-click on system Taskbar.
  2. Select Toolbars.
  3. Click on NetLimiter InfoBar. Please, be patient here as it could take few seconds for InfoBar to appear in the menu.
