This connection
This device
This is what Cloudflare sees of this connection. Nothing is stored.
Your request headers
Speed test
Measured to the nearest Cloudflare data centre, with no other service involved. On a fast connection it uses up to about 200 MB of data.
Is it blocked?
The site is opened from networks inside the country and from outside it, next to OONI’s figures for the last month.
Does it open everywhere?
We open the site from several countries, so you can see whether it is reachable everywhere.
Port check
Timed from the Cloudflare data centre nearest to you, not from your device. Common ports only.
Ping and route
Ping tells you how far away a host is; traceroute and MTR show the path hop by hop. It runs from places around the world, not from your device.
DNS
Domain records, DNS and email health, and DNS answers from around the world.
DNS answers from around the world
Domain info
Registrar, registration and expiry dates and name servers, from RDAP.
SSL certificate
Check a site’s certificate, or read a certificate (PEM).
Have a certificate (PEM)?
IP lookup
The network owner, country, abuse contact and reverse name (PTR) of an IP.
Who owns IP addresses?
Five regional registries hand out IP addresses: ARIN for North America, RIPE NCC for Europe and the Middle East (Iran included), APNIC for Asia and the Pacific, LACNIC for Latin America and AFRINIC for Africa. Each records which company every block went to.
A reverse name (PTR) works the other way round from DNS: from IP to name. Mail servers and network tools use it to recognise an address. The network owner is rarely the end user; it is usually a provider, data centre or cloud company.
Encode and decode
Everything runs in this browser; nothing you type here is sent anywhere.
The signature is not checked; only the contents are shown.
Subnet calculator
Type an IP with a prefix or a mask, like 192.168.1.10/24, or a number to turn into an IP.
Speed units
Providers sell megabits per second; browsers show downloads in megabytes.
