Analyze Your Internet Connection

[Renk]

Berkeley's researchers at International Computer Science Institute provide an interesting -and free- tool to deeply analyze your internet connection. Maybe interesting to see what happens with/without your preferred vpn:

The Netalyzr analyzes various properties of your Internet connection that you should care about — including blocking of important services, HTTP caching behavior and proxy correctness, your DNS server's resilience to abuse, NAT detection, as well as latency & bandwidth measurements — and reports its findings in a detailed report. You can check out an example report from a real network to get a better idea of our tests.

The test can be performed through a java applet in your browser, or with the Netalyzr's Command Line Client

Once the tests complete, the client reports the URL at which you can inspect the session's results.

so all data is stored on their servers?
