Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool to help you easily keep track of your internet traffic.
Whether you want to gather statistics, or you need to inspect more in depth what’s going on in your network, this app will get you covered.
Sniffnet is a technical tool, but at the same time it strongly focuses on the overall user experience: most of the network analyzers out there are cumbersome to use, while one of Sniffnet’s cornerstones is to be usable with ease by everyone.
This is free and open source software.

- Choose a network adapter of your PC to inspect.
