What is Sniffnet?

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

Whether you want to check your bandwidth usage, 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 tool will get you covered.

The app is fully free and open-source, easy to use, and available for all major operating systems.

It is trusted by thousands of users worldwide, and backed by prestigious international programs fostering a safer and more open Internet.

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 difficult to understand, while one of Sniffnet's cornerstones is to be usable with ease by everyone.

In the spirit of being approachable by as many people as possible, the application is available in 26 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.
