Per-process proxy bandwidth monitor for developers on metered plans
Developers using metered proxy or VPN traffic can lose large amounts of data when an app silently downloads in the background. A lightweight monitor could show which process is consuming proxy bandwidth and alert on abnormal usage.

The problem
Developers on metered proxy plans may burn through hundreds of gigabytes in days because a background app keeps downloading, and standard system monitors do not clearly attribute traffic to the responsible process or proxy usage.
What could be built
Create a cross-platform desktop or CLI tool that monitors per-process bandwidth through proxy/VPN connections, sends alerts when an app exceeds thresholds, and helps block or throttle the offending process.
