MTRay vs NetSward

MTRay puts a full network diagnostics lab in your pocket and on your desktop, with full support for macOS and iOS. Whether you're troubleshooting connectivity in the field, inspecting TLS certificates, or tracing routes across continents — everything you need is one tap away. **WHAT YOU CAN DO** • Ping hosts and measure latency • Scan TCP ports to find open services • Trace routes with a visual map showing geographic hops and country flags • MTR (My Traceroute) — continuous traceroute with per-hop loss and latency stats • Inspect TLS/SSL certificates, ciphers, and handshake timings • Monitor certificate expiry across multiple domains at once • Send HTTP/HTTPS requests with full control over headers, body, proxy, and protocol version • Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) support for privacy-aware connections • Visualize connection timelines: DNS → TCP → TLS → Request → Transfer • Query DNS with custom servers and record types • Look up IP geolocation on an interactive map • Browse local network services with Bonjour • Wake devices remotely with Wake-on-LAN • View interfaces, routing tables, and neighbor caches • Calculate subnets and IP ranges • Test upload throughput and connection quality • Write custom JavaScript diagnostic scripts with built-in probe APIs • Communicate over raw TCP, UDP, and WebSocket **MTRay Pro** (one-time purchase) unlocks: — MTR (My Traceroute) — Script Engine (custom JS diagnostic reports) — SSL Certificate Monitor — HTTP Advanced (proxy, ECH, custom resolvers) — DNS Advanced (DoH, DoT, DoQ) — Bonjour Browser — Traceroute Route Map — Export & Share results — iCloud Sync for bookmarks Buy once, unlock on both iOS and macOS. Free tier includes Ping, Port Scan, Traceroute, HTTP Simple, DNS Simple, SSL/TLS Inspection, Connection Timeline, IP Geolocation, Wake-on-LAN, and more — no account required, no ads, no tracking. **WHO IT’S FOR** Network engineers, developers, IT pros, and anyone who needs direct answers from the device in front of them — not a simplified "speed test" story. **PRIVACY & NETWORKING** MTRay talks to the hosts and services you choose. It may use the local network (including Bonjour) where you allow it. Review the app’s privacy labels in App Store Connect for details on data handling.

Start with this device. NetSward turns the network evidence already available to your iPhone or iPad into clear next steps. See current Wi-Fi identity when iOS permits it, connection path and gateway evidence, bounded DNS checks, public interfaces, Bonjour discovery, user-entered DNS, TCP, and TLS checks, retained history, surveys, checkpoint maps, and privacy-safe reports. Availability is labeled when iOS does not expose a capability; the app does not pretend that an unknown value is zero. Pair an optional Mac only when you choose. Mac evidence stays in its own source section with capture and receive times. Local Network, Location, and camera access are requested only for the related feature; pairing is disabled until you approve it. NetSward Pro is an optional one-time purchase. Pro adds richer local history, named surveys, HTTPS metrics, multi-source exports, and advanced Shortcuts. Pro is sold through the App Store and can be restored on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account. Each device verifies its own entitlement; an iPhone or iPad purchase never authorizes a Mac command.
