PCAPdroid is a privacy-friendly open source app which lets you track, analyze and block the connections made by the other apps in your device. It also allows you to export a PCAP dump of the traffic, extract metadata and much more!PCAPdroid simulates a VPN in order to capture the network traffic without root. It does not use a remote VPN server. All the data is processed locally on the device.
Features:
- Log and examine the connections made by user and system apps
- Extract the SNI, DNS query, HTTP URL and the remote IP address
- Inspect HTTP requests and replies thanks to the built-in decoders
- Inspect the full connections payload as hexdump/text and export it
- Decrypt the HTTPS/TLS traffic and export the SSLKEYLOGFILE
- Dump the traffic to a PCAP file, download it from a browser, or stream it to a remote receiver for real time analysis (e.g. wireshark)
- Create rules to filter out the good traffic and easily spot anomalies
- Identify the country and ASN of remote server via offline db lookups
- On rooted devices, capture the traffic while other VPN apps are running
Paid features:
- Firewall: create rules to block individual apps, domains and IP addresses
- Malware detection: detect malicious connections by using third-party blacklists

Remarkable, intelligent It's awesome to encounter apps that are well thought out and are educating at the same time. Beautiful design, beautiful UI, no ads, free. These are true developers. Thank you for your wonderful app. Best wishes to you in the future.

Thank you guys! This APP is one of a kind here, I hope you keep adding more features and enhance his UI to be similar to the Wireshark Desktop version, it is way too easy in viewing the PCAP/PCAPNG files.

I'm running android oxygenOS 15 on a one+ device, is it normal to get 3 56byte ICMP pings every minute or so? says unknown source but the IP is mine and the routers. Thanks

Shows the network connections with good details and claims that doesn't collect data.

PCAPdroid is an amazing tool that gives you an ultimate insight into exactly what various installed applications on you device are sending and receiving. It's very easy to use, requires no complicated setup, and seems to capture everything. The UI is simple enough, but it also has the ability to export pcap files which can then be opened in any capture viewer, like Wireshark. All in all, this app is awesome both for beginners and pros, it's well built, 5/5 would recommend!

Have only used it for about 30 minutes but this helped me tremendously in the back and forth I've been in with my ISP. I was able to prove they have an incorrectly advertised route that was causing all sorts of weird issues with Google services & devices on my network. The app let me capture Play Store traffic specifically to pinpoint the exact subdomain that was having issues so I could run a tracert. Been trying to solve this issue for a week so this app really was a lifesaver.

Amazing port sniffer for phones, when upgrading to paid features, very affordable price to none wealthy with the none root firewall. Where after holding your finger on an app or Web address you don't want your phone contacting, you have option to block either you want. Just over £4 for blocker, or if you wish, £4 for the blacklisted addresses auto malware (spyware?) blocker. Only suggestion I would add please developers, if closed app, is remember last filters used. Else, perfect!
