>
> Remember to also install the [required dependencies](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki/Required-dependencies) for your operating system.## Features
- 💻 choose a **network adapter** of your PC to inspect
- 🏷️ select a set of **filters** to apply to the observed traffic
- 📖 view overall **statistics** about your Internet traffic
- 📈 view **real-time charts** about traffic intensity
- 📌 keep an eye on your network even when the application is **minimized**
- 📁 **export** comprehensive capture reports as **PCAP files**
- 🔎 identify **6000+ upper layer services**, protocols, trojans, and worms
- 🌐 find out **domain name** and **ASN** of the hosts you are exchanging traffic with
- 🏠 identify connections in your **local network**
- 🌍 get information about the country of remote hosts (**IP geolocation**)
- ⭐ save your **favorite** network hosts
- 🕵️♂️ search and **inspect** each of your network connections in real time
- 🔉 set **custom notifications** to inform you when defined network events occur
- 🎨 choose the **style** that fits you the most, including custom themes support
- ...and more!## User manual
Do you want to **learn more**?
Check out the [**Sniffnet Wiki**](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki), a comprehensive manual to help you
thoroughly master the application from a basic setup to the most advanced functionalities.
The Wiki includes step-by-step guides, tips, examples of usage, and answers to frequent questions.## Troubleshooting
See details
### Missing dependencies
Most of the errors that may arise are likely due to your system missing dependencies
required to correctly analyze a network adapter.
Check the [required dependencies page](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki/Required-dependencies)
for instructions on how to proceed depending on your operating system.### Rendering problems
In some circumstances, especially if you are running on an old architecture or your graphical drivers are not updated,
the `wgpu` default renderer used by [iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced)
may manifest bugs (the interface glitches, color gradients are unsupported, or some icons are completely black).
In these cases you can set an environment variable to switch to the `tiny-skia` renderer,
a CPU-only software renderer that should work properly on every environment:```sh
ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia
```### ***In any case, don't hesitate to [open an issue](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/issues/new/choose), and I will do my best to help you!***
