Italsoshows details of the current network setup and connection ofthedevice, including netstat information. "Wake on LAN"functionalityfor waking up machines. Optional "NetSentry" monitorsnetworkinterfaces and warns of breaching usage limits.Includes a home screen widget for long-running pings.Recently used hosts, IP addresses and DNS servers are rememberedforauto-completion.The results can be copied (via long-click on the output text),sentvia email or stored in a file as text or PDF. A history oftheresults of recent operations is kept (swipe left and righttoswitch between tabs).Numerous options (like using an alternative name server, PingTTL,showing ping times for each traceroute step, Broadcast Ping,usingHTTPS, setting the HTTP port number, selection of DNS recordtypesto query, etc.) are available through a long-click on the"Go"button.Contains no ads.Please join the Google community "Ping & DNS" where Isupportthis app, especially if you're having problems.WHY THE GPS PERMISSION? First off, GPS is only accessed if the"ShowLocation" checkbox is set in the Ping Options dialog. Thischeckboxis turned off by default, so unless you explicitly set it,you don'tneed to worry about your location ever being tracked.Trackinglocation is useful for measuring ping times duringlong-runningpings across large areas, like a factory or auniversity campus.Once a long-running ping with location is done,a Google Earth file(.dmz) is created that shows the ping timesalong with the geolocation of each ping. Most people will neverneed this option, soyou don't have to worry. And even if you douse it, location data isstored on the device, it is not sent oruploaded anywhere (theexception being if you attach the GoogleEarth file to an outgoingemail - in which case you're in charge ofwhere the email is sentto). So all the negative comments you maysee in the Play Store areunfounded.
