What if Sniffnet also worked as your personal firewall? 🛡️

We're previewing a new planned feature: the ability to block undesired traffic, to bring the security of your PC to the next level.

Share your feedback in the dedicated GitHub issue:

Geolocation doesn’t involve traffic, since there is an embedded database for it. For what concerns minimizing, there is already a thumbnail mode.

It’s a service running on port 62078, usually used to sync data between an iPhone and a Mac in the same network (e.g., for browser shared tabs between the two devices)

No, mobile support isn’t planned as of today

Thanks for featuring us!
