IPPinger

The IPPinger application, developed by ECCLESIASOFT - MOLNAR C.I. ISTVAN PFA, is an essential tool for anyone in the Internet & Network category, specifically under Network Tools. With its latest version, 1.3, the program stands out for its ability to periodically check a host or multiple hosts, including IPs, websites, and ports. Its small program file size of [FILE_SIZE] MB makes it an efficient yet powerful utility.

One of the standout features of IPPinger is its flexibility and notifications system. Users can set the application to notify them by email or through Windows Notification whenever a host is down. This makes it incredibly useful for maintaining uninterrupted network operations. Furthermore, the program logs every check and provides a history chart and a map, particularly beneficial for monitoring websites.

The program is compressed into a single setup.exe file and is portable, meaning the IPPinger folder can be easily moved across different storage units, whether it’s on the hard disk or a removable device. This portability adds a layer of convenience for users who may need to switch between different machines or locations. Remember that it requires .Net Framework 4 to run smoothly.

As a Freeware, IPPinger offers all these features at no cost, making it a must-download for network administrators and IT professionals. However, it is worth noting that some antivirus programs might flag it as a false positive due to the file’s compression and encryption, which is a minor inconvenience.
