See active connections as they happen. Updates automatically every few seconds.

App Statistics

View data usage per app. See upload/download totals and connection counts.

Suspicious Heuristics

Connections to private / reserved ranges, unusual ports, and patterns that look like exfiltration are flagged. Heuristics are local; Stealth does not call out to a malicious-IP intelligence feed for these checks.

Direct Blocking

Open the connection detail sheet and block the responsible app. The block is applied through the Firewall tool.

Troubleshooting

No Connections Showing

  • Verify VPN is connected
  • Check if apps making network requests
  • Try refreshing connection list
  • Check Stealth Service/root if using advanced features

Connections Not Updating

  • Check refresh interval in settings
  • Try manual refresh (pull down)
  • Restart Network Monitor
  • Verify VPN connection active

Can't Block Apps

  • Verify Firewall is enabled
  • Check VPN connection status
  • Try blocking from Firewall directly
  • Restart VPN connection

GeoIP Not Working

  • Check internet connection
  • Verify GeoIP enabled in settings
  • Some IPs may not have location data
  • Check if service temporarily unavailable
