Does this become the gateway for other devices on the network?

Doesn't seem like it at least from their site.

Seems more so like it's used to monitor your local system.

So it is like nmap?

More like a rust rewrite of Wireshark that's easier to use

...easier to use but has only got a fraction of the features.

Features are only useful if you know how to use/access them. Wireshark is a very powerful tool but I would say is basically useless for your average user.

Yes, because sometimes a simpler and easier to use tool will do the job well

Agreed. Especially for one off tools, or something where I am just playing and testing it out, it's really annoying to be told "save session?", like in wireshark or when I tried it, ghidra.

Nice a tool I didn't knew I wanted.
