Little Snitch
You can use a firewall software like &quot;Little Snitch&quot; to monitor any incoming and outgoing network connections. It can display a detailed traffic history which you can filter by application.
It is a paid software but you can use the trial for a few days and remove it afterwards.
Keep in mind that this requires you to install the software on the client's machine.
