Fing scares me. I know theoretically any app I install could be scanning my network but Fing actually says it is scanning my network.

On the Fing page it says: "Fing does not collect nor sends any detail about your environment, your accounts or your network to anybody. And that's guaranteed!"

Yet on the Fingbox page it says: "By installing Fing on a desktop workstation and logging into your account, you can perform operations on remote networks through the Fingbox cloud."

Those 2 things sound in conflict.

They are two seperate parts of the product. You can run Fing stand alone or you can subrscribe to and use the Fingbox cloud.
