Changelog
- v0.3.1 · 27 Oct 2026 · latest
The first public release of pingrail: ping and trace many hosts at once, see which hop is hurting, and send your ISP a live link instead of a screenshot.
What's in it
- Many targets at once: latency, jitter, packet loss and MOS for every target and every hop on the route, in a terminal UI and a browser.
- Route reading: it tells real loss apart from routers that only rate-limit replies to themselves.
- Background service: runs on Windows and Linux, with an HTTPS-only web UI, passkey or password sign-in, and its own certificate authority.
- Share links: a view-only link for a forum, or one your ISP can add its own tests to.
- Reports: PDF and PNG for any time range.
