Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

With Network Tools you will be able to troubleshoot and monitor your local area network (LAN), as well as your resources on the web. What you can do with Network Tools: - Gather information about your device's mobile connection (if it is connected or not, roaming or not, which connection type it is having with the cell and the signal strenght, the IMEI and the SIM serial number) and your wifi connection (IP address, gateway, DNS servers and netmask). - Get your current public IP address (using ipify.org) - Ping any local or remote host by name or IP address and get basic realtime statistics about the ping results (average ping time and percentage of success) - Query a DNS server for a name. Allows you to specify which DNS server to query and which record types to query (it actually supports A, CNAME, TXT, MX and NS records). - Query the main root DNS servers for a record (useful to monitor DNS propagation). All functions come with history support to get fast access to repetitive tasks.

DNS tools APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the DNS tools APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2e8630fbab4349959bbde8e07246dc8f.
