Web & App Usage
See which sites and cloud/SaaS apps people actually use — shadow IT, DNS-level visibility, and the email & print usage the old suite also covered.

Seeing Which Sites & Cloud Apps Get Used
In an HTTPS/cloud world you can't read pages — but you can still see destinations. DNS and SNI reveal which sites and SaaS apps are in use (shadow IT); flows show how much. How to build a usage picture of web & cloud-app use without decrypting traffic. The modern version of Internet Access Monitor's core job.

DNS-Level Visibility with Pi-hole & NextDNS
The cheapest, most privacy-clean lens on web usage: every device asks DNS before it connects. Stand up Pi-hole (self-host) or NextDNS (cloud, covers remote/WFH) to see — and optionally filter — which domains are used, per device, with zero content inspection.

Email & Print Usage, Modernised
The sister tools' domains, brought up to date: mail-flow visibility (who sends/receives, volume, attachments — from mail-server logs, not message bodies) and print accounting (pages/users/cost — e.g. PaperCut). What Mail Access Monitor and Printer Activity Monitor did, and how you'd do it now. Merges the old mail-alternatives and printer posts.
