Minimized connection alert

When a connection alert pops up, you may be in the middle of some work you want to complete before taking care of it. Or you want to investigate details about the connection. But the alert occupies a lot of screen space and is always in front. You can postpone answering the alert by clicking the Minimize button, which allows you to come back to the connection alert later. The alert stays minimized until a new connection (not covered by a rule) is attempted.

The connection attempt is stalled until you answer the alert! The connecting process may be waiting for data before it continues and may be unresponsive or have limited functionality.

Interacting with the minimized alert

The minimized connection alert appears in a corner of your screen on top of other windows and displays the number of stalled connection attempts:

Minimized Alert

You can drag it to any corner of the screen, so that it does not interfere with your current work.

When you right-click the minimized connection alert, a context menu opens which lets you choose which of the stalled connections you want to answer:

If you want all future connection alerts to automatically appear minimized, choose the Keep Minimized option. This option is automatically turned off when the last minimized alert is answered or when you explicitly turn it off in the context menu.

Handling stalled connections in Network Monitor

When a connection is stalled and a connection alert or a minimized alert is shown, Network Monitor indicates the stalled connection with a blinking orange rule management button:

Network Monitor Stalled Connections

Instead of answering the connection alert, you can create the appropriate rule directly in Network Monitor by clicking the rule management button at either the process, the domain or the host level.
