App Profile: INetTools - Pro

Just another iPad

Rating: 5/5

So, I used the trial and it popped up crap in the most inconvenient places while trying to scan. It drove me crazy! But, it definitely is a great app! I finally purchased it when I was testing a VLAN for my Alexa echo and realized how crucial this app was in my tests. Buy it, it will pay for itself.

Really like the features including the favorite servers (addresses) option. I use these to troubleshoot network connectivity on my home network when I don't feel like getting out my computer. I would like to see the following added: ping servers in specific order automatically with maybe a simple pre-defined ordered task sequence. To test my internet and ensure it is not my equipment when inet goes out I ping my access point, then my router, then my cable modem (ensures WAN port is up on firewall/router and LAN port for cable modem) then a public IP address. I usually can't get them all done before connectivity is restored. It would be nice to be able to ping them each in order quickly to see where the failure is occurring. I realize traceroute should perform this but in reality it is not aware of the modem or access point IP addresses in the path since these are not in routing tables. They are however pingable interfaces that are not in routing but are in the layer 1/2 paths and work for detecting a link/point of failure. Thanks.

Ping, Trace Route, DNS Lookup, Whois. Just make sure the app has data enabled when not connected to wifi, tends to be my #1 mistake. Useful when you don't have a laptop handy to diagnose network issues. Side note: Never had to press the thumb. No complaints.
