PL NetTools is the network toolkit for iPhone, iPad and Mac: a full domain diagnosis, a connection test and the classic tools, built on native networking, with no account.
DOMAIN DIAGNOSIS
• Enter a domain or a URL: the app checks site, email and domain together
• Site: DNS, ports, certificate and chain, HTTP, security headers, www, IPv6, CDN
• Email: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT
• Domain: expiry and registration (RDAP and WHOIS), DNSSEC, name servers, CAA
• Problems sorted by severity, each with an explanation and a fix, decided by precise rules, not by a model
CONNECTION TEST
• Parallel pings to the router and to the Internet, with a response-time chart
• Tells you whether the problem is in the local network or in the line, and spots a transfer in progress on the device
ASK (iOS and macOS 27 with Apple Intelligence)
• Describe the problem in words, for example "emails from client.com go to spam"
• The app picks and runs the checks and writes a plain-language report
• A ready-to-send ticket, in English or Italian, for whoever has to act: hosting, email, registrar or DNS, internet provider
• Uses the on-device model or Private Cloud Compute; your public IP is never sent
TOOLS
• IP: your public IP or a domain's, with location, network and ASN
• Native ICMP Ping and Traceroute, with chart and hop names
• DNS: the main records in parallel, with readable HTTPS/SVCB and CAA
• Whois with RDAP and the expiry date up front
• TCP Port: check whether a port answers
• HTTP/TLS: server response and the full certificate, with chain and CAA
REPORTS AND SHORTCUTS
• Diagnosis, Connection test and tools can be shared as Text, Markdown or PDF, ready to attach
• Shortcuts actions: diagnosis, connection, domain expiry, certificate and more, in automations too
