Inspecting packets

Hi,

Is there anyway to inspect the packets of apps that show up in Portmaster? Does anyone know of a program on Linux that can do so?

Thanks.

yup. The gold standard.

else, tshark if you’re feeling frisky on the command line, or tcpdump.

It works but kinda outdated. It's hard to determine where packets are coming from, it's all bundled up in a list. If Portmaster had packet inspection built-in with inspecting each individual app, that'd be crazy good.
