What is Sniffnet?
Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool to help you easily keep track of your Internet traffic.

Whether you want to gather statistics, you're curious to see who you are exchanging data with, or you need to inspect more in depth what's going on in your network, this app will get you covered.
What makes Sniffnet unique?
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.

In the spirit of being approachable by as many users as possible, the application is available in 22 different languages thanks to the translations by native speakers from all over the world.

Sniffnet is designed with a security-first approach: one of the top priorities has always been to protect users' data privacy and system integrity, as demonstrated by security audits assessing the application safety.

Furthermore, Sniffnet is completely free and open-source, dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0: if you are interested you can find the full source code on GitHub.

Last but not least, this application is totally developed in Rust: a modern programming language to build efficient and reliable software, emphasizing performance and safety.

[It has been many years since I've implemented such a solution on my home network and I have a desire to do so again. I will certainly look into this, but what other software or solutions do you all use? --hubie]
