NetSleuth is a powerful network diagnostic toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Whether you're a developer, IT professional, or just someone who wants to understand what's happening on their network, NetSleuth gives you professional-grade tools in one clean, fast app. * Speed Test Measures your connection the way it should be measured. Tests download, upload, latency, jitter, loaded latency, and packet loss — then gives you a Bufferbloat Grade (A–F) showing how your connection performs under real load. Powered by Cloudflare. * Ping Ping any host with a single burst or continuous mode. Watch latency in real time on a live scrolling graph with color-coded results and timeout detection. * Traceroute Trace the full path to any host with live reverse DNS lookups showing real router and infrastructure hostnames at every hop. * DNS Lookup Query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, and NS records for any domain. * DNS Propagation Check if your domain has propagated across 10 major DNS servers worldwide including Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, and AdGuard. * DNS over HTTPS (DoH) Test whether your device is using encrypted DNS. Checks 6 major DoH providers and estimates your protection level. * Port Checker Scan common ports on any host to see what's open or closed. * WHOIS Look up domain registration and ownership details instantly. * SSL Inspector Inspect SSL/TLS certificates — view issuer, validity dates, and days until expiry. * WiFi Info See your local IP, external IP, subnet, gateway, and DNS. Enable location permission to reveal signal strength in dBm, SSID, BSSID, and channel with 2.4/5 GHz detection. * IP Info Geolocate any IP address with a map view, ISP, timezone, region, and coordinates. No ads. No account required. No data collected.
