Every connection of every program is measured on your computer and drawn as an animated 2.5D city: each app is a building, the traffic flows along the streets, and a click on anything explains in plain language what it is and what it is doing. * Live upload and download per application, with the destinations it talks to and their names * What kind of traffic it is: video, calls, downloads, updates, radio and satellite services * "Is my network slow?": measures your router and the internet, and tells you whether the problem is the network or an app * Hourly and daily history of every application * Alerts from public threat-intelligence lists; pause, end or block an app or an address, with confirmation * Everything is measured locally: nothing is decrypted or uploaded * The snet command line (spectranet.snet) and the snetd service, which keeps measuring while the app is closed (settings: sudo spectranet.snetd config set KEY=VALUE) The service measures with eBPF and needs these interfaces, connected once: sudo snap connect spectranet:system-trace sudo snap connect spectranet:system-observe sudo snap connect spectranet:network-observe sudo snap connect spectranet:network-control sudo snap connect spectranet:process-control sudo snap restart spectranet.daemon Members of the sudo (or wheel) group can read it. ### Package name * spectranet --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * Yesterday - latest/stable --- ### Donations * [github.com/sponsors/kikoz85](https://github.com/sponsors/kikoz85 "https://github.com/sponsors/kikoz85") --- ### Source code * [github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET](https://github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET "https://github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET/issues](https://github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET/issues "https://github.com/kikoz85/spectraNET/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/spectranet/arch#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about spectranet ›](https://snapcraft.io/spectranet) ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install spectraNET Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install spectraNET To install spectraNET, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install spectranet ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
