Currently, this information is provided:

In case of inbound this just gives us the source address (and source port I _assume_) and in case of outbound it just gives the destination address and port.
Each network alert steals the focus which can be very annoying and interrupting.
And alternative would be not showing the network alerts window but sending a Windows notification instead. Clicking the notification would then open the network alerts window with all the missed alerts.
edit:
Creating a rule based on an inbound network alert only does not fill in the local address.
I also think color wise there should be some difference between outbound and inbound connection notification.

Network alerts displays only remote address information, because local address are used local network ip's or empty (0.0.0.0)
Could you please add an option to still show the network alerts but NOT requesting focus?
This is UI bug and fixed now.

The information is actually very important and it's not just the IP address but also the port.
What does "Remote: x.x.x.x, Port: 56832, Inbound" tell you? Nothing.
This could have been an inbound connection to some svchost service, a http server, a ssh server ...
Right now, to find out what the destination was, I have to enable the log, then search for the remote port and then in the log line it also gives me the local address & port.
Please add this.
Also, instead of having two fields for the address and port you could just do: "
Lastly, the local IP address is also very important. Use cases are multiple interfaces with different IPs, broadcasts, multicasts, etc.
