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.

Domain info
Registrar, registration and expiry dates and name servers, from RDAP.
Where does registration data come from?
A registrar registers each domain for a set time, usually one to ten years. If it is not renewed, it is released after a grace period and anyone can buy it, which is why the expiry date matters.
WHOIS was the old way to ask for this data. RDAP is its standard successor and answers in a fixed structure. The owner’s name and address are usually hidden for privacy, and some country domains, Iran’s among them, have no RDAP service yet.
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.
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.
