Ping
ICMP ping for an IP or domain
What it is
Ping checks host reachability using ICMP echo. Enter an IP or a domain — the service sends several echo requests and shows latency and loss statistics.
How it works
Enter a host (IP or domain) and the number of packets (1–100). We make ICMP requests from our servers, not from your browser.
Examples
- 8.8.8.8 — ping Google's DNS.
- example.com — ping a domain after DNS resolution.
Limitations & notes
Even with 100% packet loss the response is still successful (HTTP 200) and shown as text. Errors 400/404/500 indicate invalid parameters, DNS failures or internal errors.
Results reflect connectivity from our server. Firewalls/NAT may filter ICMP.
FAQ
- Why are private IPs blocked? To prevent abuse in local networks.
- Where is the service? ICMP backend is a separate Pinger API; its address is configurable via environment.
