Show host names in log view

[Trass3r]

Would make it easier to judge what apps are doing.

I think you misread what apps as whatsapp.

The idea was to only lookup names when you actually open the log view as a convenience feature. Currently that view is of limited usefulness.

If this feature is planned, you might want to cache forward DNS lookups and use that data instead of relying on the PTR records, as the latter doesn't always provide helpful information:

$ host www.google.com
www.google.com has address 74.125.225.146
www.google.com has address 74.125.225.147
www.google.com has address 74.125.225.148
www.google.com has address 74.125.225.144
www.google.com has address 74.125.225.145
www.google.com has IPv6 address 2607:f8b0:4009:805::1014
$ host 74.125.225.146
146.225.125.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ord08s09-in-f18.1e100.net.

Doing a bunch of reverse lookups at once could take a long time and make the user interface unresponsive. Parallelizing the requests and/or displaying partial results may help.

Also, beware of malicious DNS servers returning unexpected content in the hostname field:
