-This tool visualizes all the sockets each server has (IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP). It can classify them as `inbound`, `outbound`, `listen` and `local` and allow filtering on them. The visualization has 4 sides: `public` (meaning public IPs), `private` (meaning private and reserved IPs), `servers` (meaning listening and inbound sockets), `clients` (meaning sockets towards other servers). The position of each application on the chart is determined by the classification of the sockets it uses (so to the top as clients, to the bottom are servers, to the right are internet facing, to the left is private facing). The size of each app in the chart is determined by the number of sockets it has. Each chart is a pie chart showing the percentage of each kind of sockets each app has.
