Using the System Tray Icon

Once installed, the Agent displays a small icon in your system tray (located on the right-hand side of your taskbar), which you can double-click to open the Agent or right-click to see a menu of commands.

The icon consists of two arrows that represent system traffic: the upward-pointing arrow is outgoing traffic; the downward-pointing arrow is incoming traffic.

These arrows give you a real-time update of your device’s traffic flow. You might not see a constant icon appearance for more than a few seconds, especially if you frequently use the Internet or your network connection.

What the System Tray Icon Tells You

The colors of the arrows are always changing (as is the traffic flow on your device). For most users, it should be sufficient to remember the following points about the colors of the icon.
