Review what others have to say...
“We have been using your program for three years and are quite satisfied with its functionality. Approximately 470 of your employees access the Internet through Traffic Inspector every day, each of them being assigned to a separate group with custom billing plans and web filters – that is very convenient. We have only good things to say about the program, especially after we have fine-tuned it to meet our specific needs. We wish you every success with your business.”- Gazturboservis, JSC
“Our company connects to the Internet through three ISPs and Traffic Inspector is deployed as the single point of access control. Apart from providing content filtering and Internet access control, Traffic Inspector allows us to save money by using a built-in proxy server and load balancing traffic between different providers. Thanks to Traffic Inspector, flexible routing is no longer a problem.”- Aircompany Yakutia, JSC
“We have been using Traffic Inspector for a quite long time, primarily for controlling Internet traffic consumption. During my time as a system administrator, I have tried many proxy servers and billing systems but Traffic Inspector beats them all. Flexibility, robustness, ease of administration, intuitive interface, AD integration, customizable billing plans – the list goes on and on and that is only a small part of what Traffic Inspector can do.”- Yugtransgaz LLC, Gazprom affiliate
“We want to thank you for creating a program like that. With all other programs – it’s all about struggling to figure out how to use them and eventually giving up. As for Traffic Inspector – you just use it and enjoy it.”- Krasnodarzoovetsnab, JSC
“A very good program. Works like a charm! We’ve been searching for such a program for quite a long time. For a very reasonable price you get it all – stateful firewalling, malware inspection, spam filtering, content filtering. The quality of tech support is good too - you get professional help fast. We are nicely surprised. Good job!”- Molochnyi Kit, LLC

Tatyana Medova First of all, hello everybody and thank you for your questions.

@Sandro Perotti:
Yes, Traffic Inspector may seem a little bit complex at first, but that's because of the sheer amount of functionality that it has. Don't worry you'll get used to it. Kaspersky Gate Antivirus (KGA) comes bundled with this version of TI and you can't change that. However, you have a couple of options regarding KGA usage:

1) you can choose not to install KGA during the TI installation
2) you can install KGA but subsequently disbale it in TI settings
3) you can install KGA and actually configure it and use it

As for running multiple antiviruses on one machine, this is technically possible. However, we generally do not recommend that.

Smart-Soft - May 26 2013 at 11:29pm Copy Link

Tatyana Medova @Robert Repka:

First of all, Netgear, Linksys and D-Link are all hardware appliances (usually *nix-based) and Traffic Inspector is a Windows-based program. Hardware routers can do a lot of things, but they are hard to configure and not very convenient (especially, advanced routing, traffic shaping, URL filtering features).

Traffic Inspector is easier to use and features convenient GUI for configuring advanced functions.

Smart-Soft - May 26 2013 at 11:49pm Copy Link

Tatyana Medova @Karl Valentin:

1. Regarding the subscription fee
License for Kaspersky Gate Antivirus plugin is time-limited. Following the expiration date, antivirus updates are disabled. The plugin remains fully functional otherwise. A customer has to extend the license, if they wish to have continued access to antivirus updates.

2. Regarding AV and Firewall deactivation
You can choose not to install KGA or disable KGA after installation. TI firewall can be disabled in program settings.

Tatyana Medova @Dan Negoescu and William W. Geertsema:

The activation key is sent by email.

The activation procedure is as follows:

1). Internet connection is required during installation and activation. Once installation is complete, open the Administration Console (Start, All Programs, Traffic Inspector, Administration Console).

2). When prompted with the server selection dialog, leave the Server field blank to connect to the local instance of the Traffic Inspector gateway.

3). To activate the program, click on the Activate the purchased license link, select Purchased license activation option, click Next, enter your activation key, click Next and then Activate. Please wait while the program contacts our activation server to finalize the activation process.

4). Congratulations! You have successfully installed and activated
Traffic Inspector.

P.S. Last time we checked activation emails, everything worked OK. We'll check it again.

Phred E (Installs here, Bob Bacle. Somewhat opaque, but I'm willing to learn..}
Tatyana, Thanks for this offer, but, while I notice that we 'can install the program at any time', activation contacts your servers for authentication - so this seems to mean that our capability to install the program depends entirely upon your servers being online AND your company still being in business.
Is that right?
If Smart-Soft goes out of business, is sold and TI discontinued, then the program becomes completely useless.
Am I correct? Thanks.

May 28 2013 at 9:35am Copy Link

wts Everything installed correctly on my Win7 64-bits. I found that in order to *not* install Kaspersky Gate Antivirus, the custom installation option was needed. Follow the default prompts. Click on the Kaspersky box and select to not install. Everywhere else, follow default. Start the server, then follow activation procedure as written by Tatyana Medova above. Thanks for your generous offer on BitsDuJour !!!

May 28 2013 at 11:55am Copy Link

Eustace Phenackertiban @Phred E - Umm... yeah, that would be true of pretty much *any* software which requires online activation, which is to say, much of software sold today.

As far as TI is concerned, it installed flawlessly by simply following the instructions (on Win7 x64), so "Thank you!" Smart-Soft and BDJ. That said, having opened the program and followed the tutorial above to configure it, I am not seeing the utility of the program for a single user with a small (three computer + tablet and smartphone) home network. I can see where this would be nice for administering a small office with several users, but for us "one man shops," I don't see the value add of having this program in the loop. Am I missing something?

Watcher1924 Hello to all. Thanks for the offer.
I would like to ask:
1) Can we install/register the program even after one year (e.g. after 18 months)?
2) If for some reason we need a fourth installation can we resolve this be contacting your support team?
3) The installer is about 32.5 MB but at your site, in the requirments tab, says:
"400 MB free hard disk space (will need additional space for working with cache files and statistics)".
4) Can the KGA be used indefinitely (despite the limited updates of it)? What is the expiration date? Does it matter if we install it later (i.e. will the expiration date be shifted)?

May 28 2013 at 7:35pm Copy Link

Tatyana Medova @Bob Bacle, Frank Carreira, mishasin
Unfortunately, the error you are getting ("Installation ended prematurely because of an error.") is typical for Windows and may be caused by a lot of things. Please refer to many online manuals and how-tos on how to diagnose and solve your particular issue. There are no problems with installing Traffic Inspector on a licensed version of Windows 7 x86-64 or Windows XP x86. This has been tested before, and I checked it once again now.

Internet connection is required for activating many products. This is a common way of doing things. Also, our company has just celebrated its 10th anniversary, things are going well and we are not going anywhere. :)

Smart-Soft - May 28 2013 at 8:57pm Copy Link

Phred E @Tatyana & Eustace - yes, I was afraid of that. If your company had the secret elixir of preserving any company from insolvency in a capitalist economy then your method of making your products work would be fair, but somehow I don't believe you do. :(
Certainly, a one-time validation of a code transmitted to a customer would be reasonable, but to expect that your servers/business will be waiting into the indefinite future seems a long bow to draw.
Should I send you a list of the thousands of dot-com companies that are no longer extant, even after 10 years of operation, and whose products no longer fully function? Vast amounts of wasted money and expertise.
Your method hangs entirely upon the good grace of your bank manager, and so I believe your software model is severely flawed.
Is there some other way you have..?

Eustace Phenackertiban @Eustace Phenackertiban - What did you do (step by step plz) to get it to install under Win7 64-bit?

I downloaded the file, then unzipped it to its own folder. I then ran the installation program, and at the end, left the checkbox checked to run the program. I then checked my email for the activation keys, and after choosing to "activate purchased version," used copy/paste to paste the ID and the parts of the key into the appropriate boxes. I then clicked the "Activate" button. The first time, it gave me a "Demo" activation, with a little "Caution" triangle at the right side. I clicked "Activate" again, and this time it came back as activated "Gold 5." Apparently, there was a problem connecting to the activation server on the first click. Anyway, not sure what "Gold 5" means, but the program appears to be fully functional at this point.

Tatyana Medova @Cary Adams

The short answer is: yes. The exact nature of networking links (wired or wireless) inside your home or office network does not matter. As long as all traffic destined to the Internet passes through Traffic Inspector, you should be able to control / monitor it.

Smart-Soft - May 29 2013 at 2:56am Copy Link

Tatyana Medova @ Eustace Phenackertiban (on using TI in small home networks)

Actually, I don't understand why you came to this conclusion. Using Traffic Inspector in a small home network is not overkill. TI is designed to be used in small and medium-sized networks.

Key recovery feature is only needed when you purchased the activation key and then lost it. When activating the program for the first time, you don't have to use the key recovery feature.

1). Internet connection is required during installation and activation. Once installation is complete, open the Administration Console (Start, All Programs, Traffic Inspector, Administration Console).

2). When prompted with the server selection dialog, leave the Server field blank to connect to the local instance of the Traffic Inspector gateway.

3). To activate the program, click on the Activate the purchased license link, select Purchased license activation option, click Next, enter your activation key, click Next and then Activate. Please wait while the program contacts our activation server to finalize the activation process.

To those users who have a problem installing Traffic Inspector -here are some of the tips you may find useful:

2) Make sure your antivirus software does not interfere with the installation process.
3) Clear your %Temp% folder.
4) Try disabling User Account Control (UAC).

Thank you, Nigel. You see, it's my job to do this :) Anyway, regarding your question about Kaspersky software. Using KGA is optional, you can choose not to install it. Please note that KGA is designed to provide antivirus protection at the gateway level (i.e. for all users accessing the Web via Traffic Inspector), while a desktop antivirus protects only the computer on which it is installed.

I've read the pertinent faq section about the KGA license but, please, I try to find out what the deadline is for the updates. If e.g. install your program in six months are we going to be able to update KGA? The date of the last allowed update depends on the date of the Traffic Inspector installation?

internet explorer Please help: I cannot activate Traffic Inspector after installation because it tells me the server is not running. What do I do now?
Please note that I chose the option not to install the server so as not to risk any trouble from my ISP and also to avoid having something on my workstation that seems more suited for a network situation, which I do not have right now. I asked this question yesterday, but I could not find any answer in all the responses found on the site.

James K Installed on my Windows 7 x64 computer without issue, but the server refuses to start. Am uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling. Will let you know if it works.

Before you can generate reports, data has to be collected by the program. Installing the program is not enough. You have to create a user account and access the Internet using that account. One day is usually enough to collect enough data to start generating reports.

"Sofar this product is worth excatly what I paid for, a far cry from $195.00!"
Jumping to conclusions in never a good idea :)

"Must I spend a lot of time with help or tutorials to figure out how to use?"
Alas, there is no magic wand. He that would eat the kernel must crack the nut :)

Seriously though, give Traffic Inspector a good try. It's worth it.

Tatyana Medova @Jeremiah Stover:

Combining licenses means, for example, having two 5-user licenses for different Traffic Inspector installations and using them as a single 10-user license for a single installation. This, clearly, is not allowed.

Upgrading the license is a different thing. Upgrading the license allows a customer to add more user accounts to the program. The price to upgrade the license is the price difference between the current license and the new license. You can upgrade the license, if you so choose.

Tatyana Medova @Roger Cale:

Some clarifications on a licensing model.

A purchased license (or the one you get as part of this giveaway) entitles a customer to free updates for one year. When entitlement expires, the program installation remains fully functional. A customer has to renew the entitlement, if they wish to have continued access to new product updates. So, in other words, license for a program and the ability to use the program is lifetime, free updates are for one year only.

Traffic Inspector is licensed per computer in a sense that if you purchase a 5-user license, you must use it on a single PC. You can transfer the license to a different PC, however you cannot use the same license on multiple machines simultaneously.

Also, a 5-user license means a program allows you to create up to 5 user accounts.

You have to create a user account and access the Internet using that account.

Current connections can be viewed here:

Traffic Inspector - Reports - Current Connections

Information about visited resources can be viewed here:

Traffic Inspector - Reports - Network Statistics

While current connections will be immediately displayed, it may take up to one day to collect data for generating reports (Network Statistics).

Tatyana Medova @Watcher1924:

The date of the last allowed antivirus update is counted from the KGA plugin activation date. There are two activation options for the KGA plugin:

1) KGA license is purchased separately and a separate key is used to activate the KGA plugin
2) There is a single license for Traffic Inspector and KGA and both components are activated by the same key and at the same time

The deadline will depend on the option you choose.

Ralph Countryman Has anyone got it to install on W8 64 bit?

Jeremiah Stover Tatyana Medova - you miss my complaint altogether - the fine print on this page says "This promotion can be used to upgrade or extend an existing license."
note the word "existing" coming after the word "upgrade" - which you just apparently stated is not allowed. That is my complaint - a clear and obvious difference between the rules stated on this page and the rules allowed by the software creator. It would be nice if the rules on BitsDuJour were correct.

Tatyana Medova @Jeremiah Stover:

Thank you for pointing out this inconsistency, we'll ask BitsDuJour to correct it. The reasoning that led to this kind of wording could be something like this:

There are two license types: a trial license and a purchased license. The license that is freely available as part of this promotion is the one that you usually purchase in other circumstances. You can start out by using a trial license (time-limited). Does a trial license qualify as an existing license? Well, yes. You can then use the license that you got here on BitsDuJour (which is lifetime) to upgrade or extend (in a sense).

James K It's telling me that my Network Driver is not installed, which is obviously not true. How can I fix this?

May 30 2013 at 2:34pm Copy Link

internet explorer I still cannot activate the program (see my previous comment about 24 hours ago), and I am very disappointed that no one has replied to my prior comment, even to ask for more information. In case I didn't give enough info then, I am running TI under 64-bit Windows 7 on a multi-core AMD computer. I have literally installed scores of programs on it in the past without running into this problem before.

Tatyana Medova @internet explorer

If I understand correctly, you installed only the Administration Console.

When you choose to install the server component (Traffic Inspector), the console is installed automatically because that's how you administer TI. There is an option to install the AC separately, because sometimes you want the console and Traffic Inspector on different PCs (in this case you will be administering TI remotely).

Now, as for the activation process, it only applies to the server component, so you have to install TI itself (not just the console) to activate it.

Also, installing Traffic Inspector on your desktop computer may not be very useful. TI is designed to be installed on a separate PC serving as a gateway for your network.

internet explorer DearTatyana:
Thank you for your reply. If I understand you correctly, TI would not be useful to me, even if I had 2 or more computers networked together, unless I was routing all the internet traffic through one of them. If that's true, then I guess I won't be needing it, as it wouldn't be of much use to me even in that situation, since I have never run all my traffic for multiple computers through just one of them. I'm sorry to hear that, since I thought I might be able to use some of TI's features. Too bad. Anyway, please correct me if I am wrong about the program not doing any good in just a one computer set up with its own separate internet connection, even if it is networked with other Windows and/or Linux computers in a LAN. If yours won't help me, do you know of any other program that would do the job?
