Version History
NetworkToolbox is being continuously updated. Either by regular App Store updates or by so called data updates.

This new Tool can be used to perform recurring pre-defined tests. You can add multiple sites (IP Addresses or hosts) and perform Ping, Certificate, Mailserver and other tests with a single button press. This way, you can quickly check the availability of components either in your home network or your Internet Servers.
► New SMB Tool
You can now even browse Windows or other Samba shares using this new Tool. It is also possible to download files.
► New Speed Test Tool
This new Tool implements the iPerf Speed Test standard for Network Speed/Bandwidth tests aven as iPerf Server.
► Improved network scan
Now, SMB Network Names and Vendor Names will be displayed in the list itself and not only on the detail screen.
► Export Settings
You can now export the settings for backup or to another iOS Device.
► Reverse DNS and DNS Lookup improved
The NS-Lookup Tool is now rather a multipurpose tool that shows all kind of information available to an IP Address or host such as DNS Record information, Revers DNS Lookup, Provider information and more.
► Macros for Telnet and SSH
Possibility to write Macros that can be use in SSH or Telnet.
► Other Telnet and SSH improvements
Using a hardware keyboard, you will now see the full telnet/ssh screen.
Now you can also directly send special keys that are not available on the soft- or hardware keyboard.
► WOL (Wake on Lan) has been built in
► HTTP Head Tool improvements
This Tool now shows the Status code returned from the Server with explanation.
► IPv6 support
Most Tools now support IPv6 where appropriate. If available, you will see IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses and can enter IPv6 as well as IPv4 addresses.
► New IP Calculations
Along with this, there are three new Calculations for the IP-Calculation Tool such as IPv4 to IPv6, 6to4/6RD and Teredo calculations.
► New Manual
A new manual is available which can now be read side by side with the App, which can also be opened from here: http://go-to.me/nettb-manual but also still from inside the App by hitting the (i) button as usual. For a printed version, you can also download the manual as PDF file.
► Bye-bye to the connections Tool
With iOS 10, Apple has removed an API which has been used for the Connections Tool. This means, that this tool no longer works under iOS 10 and you will get an according message if you try to use it. Even though it is not nice that this valuable tool now no longer can be used, Apples decision is a major increase on Security as this API could have also been used for other purposes by any App.
► Other bug fixes and improvements
Besides the lost Connections Tool, NetworkToolbox is now fully compatible with iOS 10 and even uses some of the new advantages. On an iPad Pro, it can also run in Multitasking and Split Screen mode and it runs just fine on the new iPhone 7 devices.
