About PortGhost

PortGhost identifies processes that are using network ports and can terminate those processes. It is intended for situations where a development tool or server cannot start because a port is already occupied. By revealing which process has claimed a port, it helps users find the source of the conflict, and one-click termination provides a direct way to stop a process described as a leftover or “zombie.” The utility is aimed at developers who encounter port-in-use errors during local development. Its focus is on network port occupancy and the processes responsible, rather than broader system monitoring. The product is built for .NET 10 developers and is described as lightweight. This makes it a targeted troubleshooting tool for quickly resolving a specific class of local networking problem.
