The record

Purpose: Sniffnet is a network monitoring app for keeping track of Internet traffic, checking bandwidth usage, and inspecting network activity.
Capture and reports: Users can choose a network adapter, filter observed traffic, and import or export capture reports as PCAP files.
Traffic views: The app displays overall Internet traffic statistics and real-time charts about traffic intensity.
Host details: Sniffnet can identify local network connections, show remote hosts’ geographical locations, and find host domain names and ASNs.
Service detection: The app identifies more than 6,000 upper-layer services, protocols, trojans, and worms.
Programs: Sniffnet can show which programs use network bandwidth and let users save favorite programs.
Alerts and blacklists: Users can configure notifications for network events and import custom IP blacklists to highlight potentially dangerous connections.
Themes and languages: The app supports custom themes and is available in 26 languages.
Privacy and security design: The audit article says Sniffnet provides most functionality through offline databases, uses incoming traffic as needed, and makes reverse DNS lookups to provide hostnames for IPs.
Support: The download page directs users with persistent installation problems or doubts to open an issue.
Intended users: The maker says Sniffnet is designed to be usable with ease by everyone, including people who find other network analyzers difficult to understand.
