Frequently Asked Questions
Are the network tools free?+
Yes, all network tools are free to use. Lookups that reach the public internet use public records, and nothing is stored per query.
Does the DNS or IP lookup expose my request to a server?+
Tools that must reach the public internet — IP, DNS, WHOIS — query only the record you ask for from standard public infrastructure.
What can a HAR analyzer tell me?+
Upload a HAR capture and inspect every request, header, timing, and status code — useful for reproducing slow or failing API flows without opening DevTools.
Can I test a webhook locally?+
Yes, the webhook tester exposes a unique URL and shows each request as it arrives, with headers, payload, and timing, so you can verify your integration end-to-end.
