It’s a very long story but ultimately all you need to know is, i have to make sure an unknown app isn’t sending an assload of traffic through port 25 on any network im connected to. How can I confirm this on my android device without an external PC?

    Is tcpdump possible for you?

      Maybe, is that something I can do in terminal?

        It’d be number 8 on this list but honestly number 4 is where I’d start. I don’t have android specific experience from this decade, sorry.

        Edit: so many of those require rooting. Is it common to do so? I wouldn’t personally go too far down a rabbit hole on the device because it’s a pain unless you have no access to the access point or router or some other device that may have easier access to logs.
