TripMode is a Mac utility that might prove to be of good use when traveling. This application helps you make sure you don't overtake the limit that's being established in your contract with the Internet provider and prevent extra fees in your Internet bills.
Before using this program on your Mac you first need to install a component. TripMode will download and install this tool for you and you can immediately start restricting Internet access for unwanted apps.
A great thing is that the program lets you know how much Internet data was used by a certain app within your Mac. You can also set an Internet traffic limit if needed.
The only disadvantage is that sometimes takes a while to update the apps (programs that connect to the Internet) list from its menu. To be more exact, if you start using a utility that uses the Internet connection to send or receive info, TripMode might take a few moments to reveal the app's name in its main menu and allow you to restrict the program's access.
Still, TripMode effectively prevents any of the selected applications from connecting to the Internet. So, it's definitely worth buying this program for the next time you travel and want to easily restrict Internet traffic on your Mac.
