it does detect connections...

Network Monitor Shield detects connections from my Roku and from my iphone and from my husband’s computer, so I’m getting alerts all the time. I wish there was a whitelist that I could put IPs on that I don’t need to be alerted about. I just reread the manual, and I don’t see anything about how to set this so it ignores connections that are ok. As I’m typing this I’ve been alerted that my computer has accessed the internet, and so has my Roku. Not sure what my Roku is doing, nobody’s watching it, but I’m being alerted to my own internet usage. It is good to know it works, and frankly, if my son wasn’t off at college I might like to know if he was up using his computer when he was supposed to be asleep or cleaning his room, but, you get the gist. If you were a new user and didn’t know how to tell friend from foe by the IP you could get freaked out by how many suspicious connections you were being alerted to. As an intermediate user, I’m seeing so many non-alert alerts that if one I needed to know about came through I probably wouldn’t notice it among all the false alerts.
