Do you want to know in just a second which ports are being used by the different applications active on your computer at any given moment? Fortunately, some tools have been developed for this purpose, such as CurrPorts, so below, we will analyze all its features.

The first thing we must say about CurrPorts is that it is an application thanks to which you will be able to quickly and easily know which ports of your PC are being used by the processes of the equipment, showing you in a list, each of the TPC and UDP that the different active applications are taking advantage of at that precise moment.

How it works

But it is not only an informative service, but CurrPorts will also allow you to carry out all kinds of actions on these ports, which have to do with relieving other data that do not appear in the first instance. But then you will also be able to close the connections you want or suddenly terminate a process using a specific port to customize your user experience to the maximum.

In the same way, we find it interesting that thanks to CurrPorts, it is possible to generate reports in HTML format to visualize that data or store it on our computer to manage it as we see fit. For example, if you want to send all the information this program can collect to a more knowledgeable friend to give you a hand, HTML reports are the best way to do it.

CurrPorts is highly customizable, considering that although it has a series of original information columns, you can then take the liberty of modifying them yourself, adding the ones you want, or removing some of them. From the Options menu of this application, we can select which elements to enable and which to disable, doing it straightforwardly.

Anyway, considering that you may want a primary use, you should know that by default, you will have access to information about your ports, such as the remote IP address to which your computer is connected, the source and destination ports, or the type of opening with which they are working. CurrPorts' analysis is one of the most advanced in its segment among free software, and you will never lack the relevant information you may need.

And what are the reasons why the data provided by this application may be of interest to the average user? If we mention some of them, we will have to discuss the possibility of finding trojans or spyware trying to steal valuable information stored on our computers. If someone is trying to connect to it without your permission, you can avoid the unpleasant consequences of these maneuvers.

If CurrPorts detects an error in your connections, the platform will even ask you if you want to close those processes so that you do not put the stability of your system at risk by not knowing about the problem.

We liked the CurrPorts user interface, considering that it makes it easy to read a large amount of data it collects by displaying it in a sort of list. To that, we have to add that the use of small icons that distinguish the different active processes also helps to make it easy to discover which ones they are. In addition, as its resource consumption is minimal, scrolling through its menus is extremely fast.

The Best

CurrPorts has many positive features, although if we had to choose just a few of them, the interface probably gets most of the attention, as it is immaculate and does not have more elements than necessary. Of course, the warnings about connection errors are also appreciated to preserve the security of our computers.

The worst

There are not too many criticisms we can make of CurrPorts, considering that its developers have set out to generate a tool just like the one they put in our hands. You can always see your data attractively; perhaps we would only have liked it to be translated into other languages. However, it is true that with a minimum knowledge of English, you can get by without problems.

Rating

If you are a network administrator or want to be aware of everything that connects to your PC's network, then CurrPorts is one of the best tools you can trust right now. It works with all versions of Windows, and the only requirement is that you have a ZIP file compressor, which will not cause problems for most users.
