About Globalping
Globalping lets anyone run network commands such as ping, traceroute, DNS lookups, MTR and HTTP requests from probes spread across many cities and countries. Tests can target specific locations or networks and results can be shared, which helps with benchmarking CDNs, comparing DNS providers, debugging routing and checking for censorship.
It is used from the website, a command-line client or an API. The probe software is published, so volunteers can host probes that join the network.
