LAN Sheriff

Self-hosted and account-free, LAN Sheriff watches where your devices send their traffic, plots each destination on a live world map, and flags anything that looks suspicious. Click a destination on the Watchtower for its country and city, owning organization, reverse DNS, protocol, port, byte counts, duration, and responsible app or device; filter by device, app, country, organization, or protocol, or scrub back through history. Radio Chatter streams the DNS lookups it can see, surfaces first-seen domains, and labels tracker, ad, telemetry, and malware domains without ever blocking them. The Precinct Map diagrams observed traffic, while the Roster inventories every device by IP, MAC, manufacturer, hostname, inferred type, and services, and alerts you when an unrecognized one joins. The Wanted List applies eight rules, including beaconing, machine-generated domains, port scans, plaintext credentials, and volume anomalies, and explains each finding in a plain sentence rather than a mystery score. Deputy Mode needs no privileges and names the application behind each connection, while Patrol Mode adds packet capture for DNS lookups and traffic volumes. Pair installations with a code to widen your view, export any view as CSV or JSON, and send alerts to webhook, ntfy, Discord, or Slack. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • See where your traffic goes
  • A live world map draws an arc to every external server your traffic reaches, and one click shows the country, owning organization, reverse DNS, protocol, port, bytes, and responsible app.
  • Nothing leaves your machine by default
  • No account, cloud service, telemetry, or phone-home. Nothing it observes is uploaded, no packet payloads are stored, and alerts and peer sharing stay off until you switch them on.
  • Findings explained in plain language
  • Eight suspicion rules, from beaconing to port scans and plaintext credentials, explain each finding in a checkable sentence and judge rarity against your own network's history, not a list of bad countries.
  • Pair instances for wider visibility
  • One machine sees only its own vantage point, so separate installations pair with a code and share hourly summaries of organizations, countries, and counts, never addresses, domains, or individual connections.

Features

  • Watchtower live world map
  • Arcs to every external server on a live map, with filters by device, app, country, organization, or protocol, and a scrubber for stepping back through a self-pruning history.
  • Radio Chatter DNS stream
  • A readable feed of DNS lookups showing who asked, what it resolved to, and how fast, with first-seen domains and tracker, ad, telemetry, and malware lookups labelled, never blocked.
  • Device roster and network map
  • The Roster lists every device with IP, MAC, manufacturer, hostname, inferred type, and services, while the Precinct Map diagrams observed connections between devices and the organizations they contact.
  • Eight-rule suspicion engine
  • The Wanted List checks first contact, beaconing, rare destinations, DGA domains, port scans, plaintext traffic, volume anomalies, and malware-list lookups, then explains each finding in plain language.
  • Dispatch peer sharing
  • Installations pair by typing a forty-character code, then trade hourly summaries over port 2912 on your own network, with no server in the middle. Off until enabled.
  • Alerts, export, and API
  • Send alerts to webhook, ntfy, Discord, or Slack, export any view as CSV or JSON, and script against the dashboard's JSON API on port 2911.
