#### Track and enforce per-process bandwidth limits using eBPF

Bandwidth Guard monitors network bandwidth usage per process using eBPF kernel hooks and enforces configurable limits.

Features:

* Real-time per-process bandwidth tracking
* Configurable daily limits per application
* Desktop notifications at 80% and 100% usage
* Historical usage reports (daily/weekly/monthly)
* Smart enforcement (warn or kill when limits exceeded)
* Beautiful CLI with rich terminal UI

Requirements:

* Requires monitoring daemon installed separately
* Installation: git clone repo, run sudo ./install.sh
* See GitHub for full installation guide

Use Cases:

* Mobile hotspot data management
* Metered connection monitoring
* Prevent background apps from eating bandwidth
* Track which applications use the most data

Perfect for users on limited data plans who need visibility and control over their network usage.
