The short answer, no.
Looking at this particular module source. It is very much geared toward Windows systems.

Soheil,
Welcome to the forum.

When you post code, sample data, console output or error messages please format it as code using the preformatted text button ( </> ). Simply place your cursor on an empty line, click the button and paste your code.

Thanks in advance

( !! Sometimes the preformatted text button hides behind the settings gear symbol. )

Your first stop should always be the documentation. There you can see that this command is part of the Windows PowerShell. So it is not available in version 6 and higher.

You may try if

does the trick for your purpose.

You could try out my Get-NetStat - it does not depend on ConvertFrom-String and works in powershell 6+

github.com

krzydoug/Tools/blob/master/Get-Netstat.ps1

Function Get-Netstat {
    [cmdletbinding()]
    [outputtype([PSCustomObject[]])]
    Param(
        [switch]$IncludeProcessDetails
    )
    
    # https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/khiwjo/parsing_netstat_ano/

    $sb = {
        param($proto,$pcid,$state)
        $localaddr,$localport,$remoteaddr,$remoteport = $_[1..2] |
            Foreach-Object {-split ($_ -replace '(^.+):(.+$)','$1 $2')}
            
        [PSCustomObject]@{
            Protocol      = $proto
            LocalAddress  = $localaddr
            LocalPort     = $localport
            RemoteAddress = $remoteaddr
            RemotePort    = $remoteport

So the function I made really was just for windows as well. I’ve added some linux support (TCP) as I don’t have a linux machine that has UDP connections at the moment. Naturally, netstat command line utility must be present for the function to work.
