Local connections

What it does: lists what THIS machine is listening on and the connections it currently has open — the same data the Deputy's local_sockets tool uses, as a first-class table.

Safe to run: yes, read-only.

Reading results: the 'listening' rows are your exposure surface (what could be reached on this box); the 'established' rows are who it's talking to. Each row shows its owning process (pid/name): on Linux from /proc (your own processes), on Windows from the system's owner-PID tables (the same source as netstat -ano) — read locally, nothing is sent.

These are the Windows and Linux 1.3 guides, the same help that ships inside those apps. The Mac app carries its own in-app help; where macOS differs, see Privacy and FAQ. All docs. Spot something unclear? Tell us.
