Frequently asked questions
Can this check private or local servers?
No. For security, the checker blocks localhost and private network addresses and only checks public server hosts.
Why might an online server appear offline?
Firewalls, proxy configuration, DNS changes, rate limits, or disabled status responses can prevent a successful public ping.
