What's a network peer?


Yeah from an extremely quick read of the code, I agree with atworkc. It's showing any IP address you have an established network connection to.

  void refreshConnections() {
    ssOutput =
        popen("ss -atun4 | grep ESTAB | awk '{print $6}' | cut -f1 -d\":\"", "r");

    if (ssOutput == NULL) {
      printf("Failed to run ss command\n");
      exit(1);
    }
  }
edit: ssOutput is a global variable which is read elsewhere.


Servers / Computers your device is currently communicating with, e.g. github servers when you load the link (well probably a cdn edge one)
