Description
NetQmon is an open-source, self-hosted network visibility platform for OpenWrt and home networks. It goes beyond bandwidth charts by identifying devices, applications, services, and traffic destinations. NetQmon combines eBPF traffic collection with domain, IP, ASN, signatures, and nDPI classification. NetQmon Cloud adds continuously maintained application rules for more accurate identification.

Could you build this?
No Requires low-level Linux kernel programming (eBPF), C/C++ networking code, OpenWrt toolchain cross-compilation, and deep packet inspection (nDPI) on constrained router hardware.
What it would actually take: Built using C or Rust targeting OpenWrt MIPS/ARM embedded architectures, integrating Linux eBPF/XDP subsystem to capture packets without saturating router CPU. It requires bundling and compiling nDPI or custom protocol parsers to classify application traffic at wire speed on memory-constrained devices. Requires deep systems programming, Linux network stack expertise, and embedded systems engineering.
