### What we like

Alternative to Netstat with human-friendly output. Uses a table view with filtering options (protocol, ports, IP, program, PID, etc). Launches with common settings from Netstat by default. Built-in kill option based on an interactive ID selector. Available as a single binary (Rust).

### Tradeoffs

Linux only.
