NetPulse Diagnostics vs Tunnelless

NetPulse Diagnostics is a clean network troubleshooting toolkit for iPhone and iPad. It helps developers, system administrators, website owners, support teams and everyday users understand what is happening with their connection. Check your network without guessing: • View Wi-Fi, cellular, VPN and network path status • Inspect local interfaces visible to iOS • Run DNS lookup and DIG-style record checks • Test ICMP ping and TCP latency • Check TCP ports and UDP diagnostic responses • Probe HTTP and HTTPS endpoints • Inspect SSL/TLS certificate details • Detect your public IP address • Scan your own LAN with ping sweep or selected TCP ports • Measure download and upload speed • Save local diagnostic history and export reports NetPulse is useful when a website does not open, a DNS record looks wrong, a VPN route changes, a certificate needs verification, a local device disappears from the network, or a service port does not respond. Built for both technical and everyday use: Developers can quickly validate hosts, ports, DNS records, SSL certificates and HTTP responses. Site owners can check whether their domain, website and certificate are reachable. Home users can inspect their current network, VPN state, public IP and local devices in a simple interface. Responsible diagnostics: LAN scanning is designed for networks you own or have permission to test. iOS may ask for Local Network permission before local device checks. Some routers, VPNs and cellular networks block ICMP ping, so NetPulse also provides TCP and HTTP checks as practical alternatives. Privacy-first workflow: No account is required. Reports are stored locally on your device. Diagnostic requests are started by the user when running a selected check, scan or speed test.

Tunnelless puts your iPhone, iPad, or Mac on your private Tailscale network without installing a VPN profile. Apps that reach a private network normally need a system VPN: a NetworkExtension, an "Allow VPN configuration" prompt, and a profile that takes over device-wide routing and conflicts with any other VPN you already run. Tunnelless does none of that. It runs a userspace network node inside the app and exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy, so only this app's traffic uses your private network. The rest of your device is untouched, and you can keep running your work VPN at the same time. WHAT IT DOES • Joins your existing Tailscale network with a standard browser sign-in • Shows your node's private IP address once connected • Exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy address for reaching machines on your network • Signs out and deletes local state on demand REQUIREMENTS • A Tailscale account. Tunnelless connects to a network you already have. It is not an account, hosting, or subscription service, and it does not create networks for you. PRIVACY Tunnelless collects no data, includes no analytics, and performs no tracking. Sign-in happens directly with Tailscale; your credentials are never seen by us. Network state is stored only on your device and is removed when you sign out. Tailscale is a registered trademark of Tailscale Inc.
