PL NetTools
Network diagnostics toolkit
Free
PL NetTools is a native network toolkit for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Five essential diagnostic tools, fast and no-nonsense, built on native networking (no system shell, no third-party plugins).
IP & GEOLOCATION
• Your public IP address with city, region, country, coordinates
• Network, ASN, organization, time zone, currency
• Two selectable providers (ipapi.co / ipinfo.io) with automatic fallback
• Optional API tokens to raise limits (stored in the device Keychain)
PING
• Native ICMP ping with real-time RTT
• Continuous output, instant start/stop
DNS
• 12 record types looked up in parallel (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CAA, SOA…)
• DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare with Google fallback), decoded CAA records
• TTL for every record
WHOIS
• Direct WHOIS server queries (port 43)
• Structured summary (registrar, creation/expiry dates, name servers, status)
• Full WHOIS text, with or without line wrapping
TRACEROUTE
• Native ICMP traceroute, hop by hop with RTT
• Optional host name resolution (reverse DNS)
FEATURES
• Native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad and Mac
• Recent-lookups history per tool
• Adaptive light/dark interface
• Fully localized in Italian and English
• No account, no ads, no tracking
PL NetTools does not collect personal data. The only network traffic is the lookups you start, sent directly to public geolocation/DNS/WHOIS services.
