Pro-Grade Network Diagnostics in a Modern UI. Built by and for network engineers, OniNetwork delivers highly reliable and advanced network diagnostics in a beautifully simple iOS app. [ Overview ] 1. Field-Ready Deep Data We go beyond basic pings. Get ASN and ISP names in Traceroutes, analyze full SSL certificate chains, and automatically fingerprint device types and vendors in your LAN. We show the data engineers actually want to see. 2. Modern, Developer-First UI Say goodbye to clunky terminal ports. Built with a highly visible dark and neon theme, designed to reduce eye strain during long troubleshooting sessions. One-tap copy for all results makes reporting a breeze. 3. Privacy First & Secure All scan results, target history, and network data are stored strictly locally on your device. No unauthorized tracking, no external server uploads. Safe to use even in strict enterprise environments. [ Toolkit ] - Dashboard & Speed Test: Instantly view your Global IP (IPv4/IPv6), Local IP, Subnet Mask, ISP, and SSID. Run a highly accurate speed test including Ping and Jitter with a single tap. - Ping & Traceroute: Full IPv4 / IPv6 support. Ping calculates packet loss and min/avg/max latency. Traceroute automatically resolves and displays ASN (Autonomous System Number) and ISP names for each hop. - LAN Analyzer (Deep Scan): Rapidly scan connected devices on your Wi-Fi. It retrieves IP/MAC addresses and uses HTTP headers and open ports to intelligently guess device types (Router, NAS, Printer, etc.) and vendors. - Port Scanner: Supports Quick Scan (common ports), Range Scan, and Custom Scan. Automatically maps open ports to standard service names. - DNS Lookup: Query A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, SRV, and CAA records. Measure query response times and easily switch between public DNS servers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, etc.). - SSL Certificate Check: Analyze SSL/TLS certificates for any domain. View the full certificate chain hierarchy, SANs, signature algorithms, and public key details. - Subnet Calculator: Simply input a CIDR (e.g., /24) to instantly calculate Network/Broadcast addresses, Wildcard masks, and usable host ranges. Includes a visual binary representation of the IP. - Wake on LAN (WOL): Send magic packets to registered MAC addresses. Easily wake up your targets with one tap from your saved list or history. [ Privacy Policy & Terms ] OniNetwork prioritizes your privacy. We do not collect, view, or upload your diagnostic data to any external servers. (Note: The free version uses Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy). The Pro version (In-App Purchase) is a one-time lifetime unlock. Please use this app only on networks and devices you own or have explicit permission to test. --- Privacy Policy & Terms of Use: https://pu-labs.notion.site/OniNetwork-Official-318d53da0c378
