looking for a port monitor (not a firewall)

[*ProteanThread*]

that will monitor which applications are connection (or attempting to
connect) to what UDP or TCP ports ?

Active Ports:

or Netmon, seems abandonware, still available at:

I find Active Ports is oblivious to the UDP connection when using
Neutron to get atomic time. Anyone seen this?

This is VERY similar to TCPview (freeware) by SysInternals. In
fact someone (not me) might say it's rip-off

Some freeware firewalls have this feature built in (such as the
slightly obscure Filseclab).

I find that Plastic Sniffer is useful because it shows the data
passing through the port and is probably the easiest tool to do
this.

Yes. I see this in both Active Ports and CurrPorts. It's because it
only takes about one tenth of a second for Neutron to get the time,
and CurrPorts is set to refresh every 2 seconds so it usually misses
it. If you keep clicking the "get atomic time" button it should appear
in the list sooner or later.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html is worth a look.
"CurrPorts allows you to close unwanted TCP connections, kill the
process that opened the ports". It comes as a no install zip file.

CurrPorts, no install.

Port Reporter will log connections.
