Shepherd Tool is your friendly watchdog for a safer, faster, more transparent connection. Built by TurboApps with years of focus on digital security and everyday cyber hygiene, it turns complex network details into clear, actionable insights — without harvesting your data. Everything runs entirely on your device. We don't collect, store, or sell your personal information. — WI-FI SECURITY — Analyze the network you're connected to and get a clear security score from 0 to 100. Shepherd checks: • Encryption — is your traffic protected or exposed? • Security protocol — modern (WPA2/WPA3) or dangerously outdated (WEP)? • VPN protection — is your traffic tunneled and private? • Proxy / interception — is anything quietly redirecting your traffic? • Connection type and your public IP, with country and provider. Tap any check to learn what it means, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it. Security you can actually understand. — SITE AVAILABILITY — Keep an eye on the websites you care about. Add any site and instantly see if it's online, its HTTP status, and how fast it responds. Check them all at once, and open any site to view its response-time history on a clean chart. Measure your real download and upload speeds plus latency, shown on a beautiful live gauge. Every result is saved so you can track your connection quality over time. — WHY SHEPHERD — • Private by design — no accounts, no ads, no trackers, no analytics. • Clear and educational — every result is explained in plain language. • Beautiful and fast — a modern, distinctive interface that's a pleasure to use. • Your data stays yours — saved sites and history live only on your device. Whether you're on home Wi-Fi, the office, or public hotspots, Shepherd Tool helps you understand your network, spot risks early, and stay protected. Download Shepherd Tool and let your digital sheepdog guard your connection. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
