Security model
Local visibility first
PC Sentinel NET reads Windows system information locally. It is not a packet sniffer and does not upload monitoring data.
Listening TCP ports are summarized so you can judge exposure: localhost-only ports are usually lower risk, while public listening ports deserve closer review.
The Windows app has no Android monitoring feature, mobile API listener, or phone companion service. Unsigned Windows apps can show SmartScreen warnings until code signed.
