All changes and improvements to NetTool, newest first. Each entry shows the version, the deployment date and time, and whether it is a new feature or a fix.
Every sub-page now shows the suite favicon, and cookie use follows a GDPR consent banner: non-essential cookies are only set after you choose “Accept”, while “Decline” keeps everything session-only. The strictly-necessary consent cookie remembers your choice.
The feedback button now opens a single shared form on the tools index. You can pick the app from a dropdown, so all suggestions and bug reports arrive in one place.
The privacy tiers were clarified: green now explicitly covers tools that make stateless server calls (nothing is stored), and blue is reserved for tools that persistently store user data on the server - currently none do.
Unified the suite look: the app now shares the common design system with every other tool — the same colours, fonts and footer, plus a new top bar to switch between tools.
The footer now shows a privacy indicator for this tool: a green dot means it runs entirely in your browser, a yellow dot means it keeps data on your device, and a blue dot means it stores results on the server.
Ping live updates and continuous mode: the ping result now builds up in real time while it runs, like traceroute. A new Continuous mode keeps pinging until you stop it and limits the visible table to the last 50 replies.
WHOIS for all domains and IP addresses: lookups now go through a resolver endpoint on this site. Domains in TLDs without RDAP support (such as .de, .at, .io or .eu) fall back to classic WHOIS, so WHOIS works for IP addresses and every common domain.
DNS lookup behind corporate proxies: when public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers are blocked (for example by Zscaler), DNS queries now fall back to a resolver endpoint on this site, so lookups keep working.
DNS lookup fallback: lookups now use multiple DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers, so if one provider is unavailable the next one is tried automatically.
Live traceroute updates: the route table now builds hop-by-hop in real time while the measurement runs. Also fixed IP address targets that previously returned an error.
The NetTool address is now correct everywhere: sitemap, robots.txt, canonical and Open Graph tags all use the working domain net-tool.4lima.at.
Version 1.0: all pages now have an up-to-date XML sitemap, so search engines can find everything. The previous release is now documented under its own version.
This release notes page is new and documents every deployment with its version and time. The latest entry reads the current version and deployment time automatically, so it stays up to date with every deployment. The page is linked in the footer.
First release of NetTool: Ping (ICMP), Traceroute (TCP, UDP and ICMP), DNS Lookup and WHOIS / RDAP lookups for IP addresses and domains.
