Live tests from many places: does it answer, how fast, where the path breaks, and which ports are open. Probes are volunteer machines, so we say plainly what each result can and cannot tell you.

These tests run from volunteer probes in many countries (Globalping), or from our server if you prefer. Many probes are in data centres, so they show how the internet sees a host, not how your home connection does.
