Your use of these tools is subject to the restrictions outlined in these Terms, particularly the Acceptable Use Policy (Section 4) and Network Diagnostic Tools Terms (Section 5).

2. Description of Services

GlobalPing is a comprehensive, globally distributed network diagnostic and monitoring platform. The Service provides the following features and capabilities:

2.1 Network Diagnostic Tools

ICMP Ping — Perform ICMP echo request tests from globally distributed nodes to measure network latency, packet loss, and reachability. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6, single and continuous test modes, with real-time waveform visualization and multi-node comparison analysis.
TCP Ping — Test TCP port connectivity from global nodes to verify service availability and measure connection latency. Supports custom port specification, IPv4/IPv6, and single/continuous modes.
HTTP/HTTPS Speed Test — Conduct multi-node HTTP and HTTPS performance testing with detailed timing breakdowns including DNS resolution, TCP connection, TLS handshake, Time to First Byte (TTFB), and content download. Supports GET and HEAD methods, redirect tracking, certificate inspection, and status code monitoring.
MTR (My Traceroute) — Perform continuous route tracing with hop-by-hop latency and packet loss analysis. Supports route visualization on a world map, AS/ISP information display, customizable parameters (max hops, probe count, timeout), and report image export.
DNS Global Query — Execute multi-region DNS resolution tests supporting multiple record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, TXT, CAA) and protocols (UDP, TCP, DoH, DoT). Includes DNSSEC validation, EDNS subnet probing, expected IP anti-hijack detection, and global resolution distribution visualization.
Port Scanner — Detect open ports on target hosts with custom port ranges (up to 10 ports per scan), service fingerprinting, and detailed error reporting. Includes private IP protection to prevent scanning of internal networks.
CIDR Scanner — Scan network segments using IPv4 CIDR notation (from /21 to /32) with auto subnet detection. Supports both ICMP and TCP probe options with configurable concurrency levels for host discovery across IP ranges.
IP Information Lookup — Retrieve detailed geolocation data (country, region, city), ISP information, and Autonomous System Number (ASN) data for any IPv4 or IPv6 address.

2.2 Global Agent Network

The Service operates through a distributed network of globally deployed agent nodes that execute diagnostic tests on behalf of Users. These agents are managed through middleware nodes, which serve as intermediary task dispatchers responsible for routing diagnostic test requests to the appropriate agents based on geographic location, availability, and health status. Both agents and middleware nodes are monitored for health, performance, and availability in real time.
