The following data usage plans' period are supported: - Daily - Weekly - Monthly - 28 days - 30 days - 90 days ► LAN SCANNER Analyze your Wi-Fi with the LAN Scanner tool. Discovering who is connected to your network and Ping it, is a matter of two taps. Easily manage custom subnets to scan only a portion of your LAN. ► PING Ping a LAN device, Ping a server, ping whatever you want. IPv6 addresses are supported too and advanced options like packet size, timeouts, intervals, etc.. are available and easily configurable. The results of your Ping are available numerically in the aggregated stats, graphically in the real time graph or listed, a row per ICMP response received. ► GEO IP Have you ever wondered where a server or any other IP is located? That's the tool for you, show the location on a map and get additional details like the ISP or the ASN in the details pane. ► DIG A DNS lookup utility made simple. A list clearly shows the result of your query and the advanced options allow you to customize your request from the type of query to the DNS server. ► WHOIS Find any information about a domain name and it's owner e.g. the status, creation date, registrant email and address and many more. ► NSLOOKUP A no-frills textual DNS lookup utility. ► WIDGET * Network Utility comes with an useful widget that brings network informations and the cellular data usage into your notification center, home screen e lock screen. ► EXPORT RESULTS ANYWHERE Every utility has an export button that allows you to export the result of your task to the File app, to the Notes app and many other apps or simply copy the raw textual result. ► MAC APP Network Utility is also available on the Mac App Store as Network Kit X, the same app but tuned to take advantage of macOS.
