While at school today I overheard someone saying that another person was "crazier than a rabid fruitcake with rubber icing". 
The person he was talking to replied with "What? That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard come out of your mouth!"
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thank God that person No.2 never hears me talk!

I use this[^], on my phones and tablets, which is absolutely brilliant, in that it shows every connection to your device from everywhere in the world, with details of who/what is connected (and if you use a firewall, it makes it very clear what you're blocking).
Does anyone know of a similar app for windows (desktop; I wouldn't trust a "universal" one)?

I think what you're talking about is a network monitor. There are plenty of those. Although the one you linked to seems specifically meant to monitor "spying". So maybe the monitor can be filtered to a "spy list".

Sure, I can do the netmon thing myself, but I want the phenomenally simple graphical element, which makes it incredibly easy to see what you're looking at.
If I need more details (which even simple net-monitoring investigations flood you with), I can dig in deeper, later.

Was this a shameless plug for what seems like a kick-ass app?
Anyhow, I am installing this to my phone tonight because you said to (whether you knew or not).

My apologies if it looked that way -- even though it merits a plug, I wasn't plugging.
Maybe later.
But it's nice to know that at least some members are doing what they're told!

Yes dear...
Did not even wait to finish reading the thread. Now if it can arrange to spike the IP address!
So 10 android connection to the US, one back to Germany and 4 whatsap connections to what seem random locations. WTF is whatsapp doing!

It got foisted on me by work - emergency response is via whatsapp, other than that I have never used it.

That'd be the fun part -- as long as you can unspike them again, when you realise that half your phone doesn't work, any more.

oops - anyone want to buy a brick, nice slim brick going cheap hah hah.
Yah I could see that happening and I could see me doing it to some obscure service I didn't like the look of. I won't even root my phone because the temptation to remove some of the vast number of apps that seem to infest the bloody thing would probably brick it.

I root them when I need to get at stuff, then unroot them again.
The tools nowadays make it soooo easy.

I've got TCPView, NetStat, WireShark, and all the other usual suspects, but they're all numbers, buttons, and figury-outery things. I was hoping for the same kind of simple, graphical view, where you can instantly see how many connections there are to the Kremlin.

Ok, I see what you want now. I don't know of any existing software, but it shouldn't be too hard to write something

So, the funny thing about the android app is that for it to work, it needs to pass all the information that's being packet capped on your network to a third party for parsing to "make it pretty". That's not terribly secure, especially if said app was written by, say, the Kremlin (or NSA, whoever). Then they don't need to even snoop on your traffic, you're sending it all right to them voluntarily!

Shirley, but they're not the Russian government or an American corporation; they're a couple of guys in Germany, which makes them a tad (read: a Lot) more trustworthy.
Of course, when microsoft buys them out, that trust will be lost -- but the app will stop being useful, anyway, so it's an auto-resolving problem.

Hi All,
Walking back to the flat today I spotted five people in suits/smart casual having 'rows' or talking animatedly to what I hope were ear pieces / blu tooth microphones hidden about there garb. At least with larger ear pieces / wires you could tell the person was not an escapee!
Ho-Hum!

Perhaps they were talking to @Mike-Hankey 's psychiatrist?
Cheers,
