Internet priority program

FalseControl · December 2, 2021

Hello guys!

So I was just watching one of LTT videos and glass wire came up. I downloaded it a few months ago but ended up removing it cause It isn't what I was looking for(or didn't know how to use it correctly). I am trying to find a program to prioritize programs internet. For example, if I was playing a game and I had YouTube open as well. I want my game to be prioritized. Anyone have ideas?

Thank you!

If your router/gateway has QoS, you can set priority there.

On some third-party software firewalls, you can do the same. But it's been a while since I've used any.

I've seen priority options on WiFi software like Killer, but that's if you have one of their adapters.

This is the only place to do it effectively. Your internal network should be much faster than your external (otherwise why bother with QoS?), so that largely won't matter. Also, without some deeper inspection, at minimum for destination, YouTube and such would get lumped into general web browsing... as would some games that go over HTTP, so it's a bit tricky to set it up.

Let me give it a shot and see how that works. Thanks for pointing me where to start!
