Support Sniffnet's development ๐
Sniffnet is completely free, open-source software which needs lots of effort and time to develop and maintain.
If you appreciate Sniffnet, sponsor the project to support its growth.
For sponsorship inquiries, feel free to reach out at sponsor@sniffnet.app.
A special shout-out to these awesome organizations and folks who are sponsoring Sniffnet:

User manual
Do you want to learn more?
Check out the 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
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
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:
ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia
In any case, don't hesitate to open an issue, and I will do my best to help you!
Acknowledgements
- A big shout-out to all the contributors of Sniffnet!
- The graphical user interface has been realized with iced, a cross-platform GUI library for Rust focused on simplicity and type-safety
- IP geolocation and ASN data are provided by MaxMind
- Free code signing for Windows Installer is provided by SignPath.io, certificate by SignPath Foundation
- Sniffnet project is supported by ADS.FUND
- Last but not least, thanks to every single stargazer: all forms of support made it possible to keep improving Sniffnet!
Stay in the loop
Wait... there's more!
Sniffnet is rapidly evolving, and new features are added on a regular basis.
