-may cause some problems that could prevent you from running Sniffnet. <br>

+In some circumstances, especially if you are running on an old architecture or your graphical drivers are not up-to-date,
+the `wgpu` default renderer used by [iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced)

+In these cases, you can try building the application from the [`tiny-skia-renderer`](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/tree/tiny-skia-renderer) 
+branch, which is based on `tiny-skia`, a CPU-only software renderer that should work properly on every environment (remember to build it in release mode, since it's less performant than `wgpu`). <br>
