App Features

• Instant Ping and Trace
  Run a classic ping on any server using ICMP over IPv4 or IPv6, or even TCP. Not only can you check connection status, but you can follow the path data takes with a built-in traceroute—each step tracked and mapped out.

• DNS and Reverse DNS Lookups
  Curious about who owns that mysterious IP address? Do quick DNS checks, reverse lookups, and pull up geographic info without fuss.

• WHOIS & HTTP Inspection
  Look up domain ownership in a snap or peek under the hood with HTTP header inspection for a clearer picture of what your web requests are returning.

• Port Scanning & SSL Info
  Scan a range of ports to see what’s open, plus get details on SSL versions and ciphers in use for tighter security awareness.

• Connection Details & Netstat
  Instantly see the nuts and bolts of your current network setup, including interface status and active connections.

• “Wake on LAN” Support
  Get those sleeping machines up and running remotely—perfect if you’re managing a home or lab network.

• NetSentry for Usage Monitoring
  Turn on NetSentry to keep an eye on how much data you’re using, with clear alerts if you approach your limit.

• Handy Widgets & Shortcuts
  Place a widget on your home screen for those longer ping sessions, or quickly access your most-used hosts and servers thanks to the app’s smart history and auto-complete.

• Share, Save, and Export Results
  Want to keep a record? Copy results, store them in files (even as PDFs), or send them through email straight from the app.

• Customizable Options
  From alternate DNS selection and custom ping settings to picking different DNS record types and fine-tuning HTTP/HTTPS details, this app gives you plenty of ways to tailor your network probing.

• Optional GPS Integration
  For advanced users, enable geo-tracking during long-running pings—useful for mapping network response times across large sites. Don’t worry, location is off by default and data always stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

• Ad-Free Experience
  Enjoy everything Ping & Net offers without the interruption of ads.
