CensorPulse shows how your network treats traffic. One tap runs a suite of on-device network probes and tells you, in plain language, whether a destination is reachable or something is interfering — and at which layer. What it checks • DNS: compares your system resolver with independent DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers to spot manipulated answers • TCP: whether a raw connection to the target completes, or times out / resets • TLS: whether a TLS handshake negotiates cleanly • SNI: whether interference is keyed on the TLS server name • App layer: whether a service itself refuses your region (HTTP 451) • Protocols: whether common internet protocols complete their handshakes on your network — measured against a test server we operate, so a failure points at the network, not at a site It probes a built-in set of well-known destinations — control sites, social networks, messengers, app stores, video calls, streaming, developer and AI services — and groups the results so patterns are obvious at a glance. Tap any result to expand the per-layer breakdown. Private by design • Measurements run from your device • Results are never uploaded • The protocol checks talk only to a test server we operate; it stores no payloads and keeps nothing about you after the run • Your IP address is not stored in the report • No accounts, no tracking, no ads Export any run as a JSON report and share it through the system share sheet — nothing is sent until you choose where. CensorPulse is a network tester — a measurement and diagnostics tool. It reports what it observes: it does not route or modify your traffic, does not connect you to any service, includes and recommends no tools, and does not provide access to any specific content. English and Russian interface. Dark, technical design. Privacy Policy: https://xarvel.github.io/apps/censorpulse/privacy-policy
