Windows Software recommendation for network monitoring?

Any software(free) for network monitoring? Not for bandwidth or data consumption monitoring.

Basically I wanted to know which all software in my computer is connecting to internet and where its connecting.

Any suggestions please?
 
Glasswire does this. They have a free version but I don't recall it's limitations. Haven't used it extensively so I can't recommend it.
The free version is also intrusive in upselling. They use a custom notification which can't be suppressed with Windows settings. It popped up and caused my game to minimize; I uninstalled then and there.
 
NetLimiter is my no. choice. Used to use it in win7 for tracking down unusual network activity when broadband wasnt ultd.
You can tweak it like a full-fledged firewall thing though its not a firewall.
 
Ntopng might help you in this case. I occasionally use it as it came bundled with Pfsense, it has Windows app. as well.

Zeek is a well known network monitoring system. You can feed it the flow information by mirroring the appropriate ports of your router with interesting traffic. It works nice on a raspberry pi. Beware, compiling it on pi will take quite some time
