Hey there folks,

I’m trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I’m just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I’m a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I’m just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don’t even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.

    wireshark does not work for individual apps, it cannot make a difference between traffic of process a and b.

      I’m not sure how Wireshark is related to firewalls honestly. It is mostly a layer 1 and 2 tool
