Npcap Alternatives
Npcap is described as 'Packet capture (and sending) library for Windows by the Nmap Project. It implements the open Pcap API using a custom Windows kernel driver alongside our Windows build of the excellent libpcap library' and is an app in the network & admin category. There are four alternatives to Npcap for Windows, Linux, Android and Mac. The best Npcap alternative is WinPcap, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Npcap are PcapPlusPlus, WinDivert and Win10Pcap.
