Network Tools

What this category can do

Network tools diagnose addresses, domains and connections. They cover public IP lookup, LAN transfer, port checking, WHOIS, SSL certificates, ping and WebSocket testing. This category is for endpoint reachability and domain information, while security tools handle hashes, keys and tokens.

Most tools process input in the browser when possible. For files, tokens, documents or network checks, review the selected tool before using sensitive data.

Common use cases

  1. Check your public IP and whether a local service port is reachable before sharing it.
  2. Review WHOIS and SSL certificate details when a domain or HTTPS setup behaves unexpectedly.
  3. Test latency, WebSocket connectivity or local file transfer between devices on the same LAN.

FAQ

Why is a port closed if my app is running?

Firewalls, NAT, container binding, wrong listen address or ISP restrictions can block access.

Does ping prove a website works?

No. Ping only tests basic reachability when ICMP is allowed; HTTP, DNS or TLS can still fail.

Why is WHOIS owner information hidden?

Many registrars redact personal data for privacy or legal reasons.

What matters in an SSL check?

Look at expiry, hostname match, certificate chain and whether intermediate certificates are served correctly.
