KConnections is a KDE-based software that serves as a compact wrapper for netstat. It simplifies routine network monitoring and management by offering graphical displays of TCP and UDP connections.
KConnections is a useful software wrapper for netstat created for KDE users. It operates discreetly in the system tray and displays popup messages for incoming and outgoing connections without interrupting the user's active applications. Users can easily see IP addresses, ports, and other relevant details of their connections. One of the best features of KConnections is its flexible list that allows ignoring certain types of connections (e.g., WWW).
By default, the following services are ignored: microsoft-ds, netbios-ssn, and www. This software was initially developed to help monitor ssh, ftp, and proxy activity on the author's machine while working. To be able to use KConnections, one needs to have KDE 3.5.x installed.
In the latest version of KConnections, users can take advantage of the new tcpkill feature. Note that tcpkill requires root privileges, but users can easily install the fix in KConnections' options or run KConnections via kdesu. It is also essential for users to be familiar with tcpdump expressions.
Overall, KConnections is a reliable software that can be of great help to KDE users who need to monitor their network connections. Its desirable features and functionalities make it a great tool to have.
