  • Displays local/remote IPs, ports, connection state, owning process and process path.
  • Geolocation and hostname lookup for remote IPs.
  • Built‑in toolkit: netstat, ping, traceroute, whois, DNS/nslookup, ARP monitor, IP route, HTTP checker.
  • Connection filtering, hiding, logging and rule actions (close connection, terminate process, alerts, run external tools).
  • Portable build option (run from USB), simple GUI for quick diagnostics.

Typical use cases

  • Troubleshooting unexpected outgoing connections or listening services.
  • Quickly identifying which process owns a socket.
  • Monitoring remote endpoints’ geo/host context for suspicious traffic.
