From a dropped connection
to a connected toolkit.

A personal network problem became an independent product: practical tools to understand connection issues from the device all the way to the local network.

A look inside the product01 / 03

01 / THE STARTING POINT

A connection problem rarely has one obvious answer.

Intermittent packet loss and a dropping VPN were the starting point. Investigating the problem meant moving between separate tools for Wi-Fi, DNS, packet loss and network discovery. The useful evidence was scattered across different places.

I built Infracheck to bring those checks into a more coherent workflow. Start with the device experiencing the problem, then add longer-term visibility when the situation calls for it.

01

Start at the device

Run diagnostics from the Android phone or Windows PC where the problem is visible.

02

Add context over time

Use the optional local appliance for continuous telemetry, alerts and network history.

03

Make evidence useful

Bring findings into reports that help explain the problem to another person.

02 / PRODUCT STRUCTURE

One problem space. Three complementary tools.

01

InfraZoom / Android

Wi-Fi signal and roaming, DNS and HTTP checks, LAN discovery, history and reports.

02

Infracheck / Windows

PC-side connectivity, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, routes, VPN context and network diagnostic tools.

03

Local appliance

A Docker-based monitor for ongoing network telemetry, inventory, alerts and reporting.

03 / INSIDE THE INTERFACE

From a technical signal to an understandable next step.

A useful diagnostic interface needs to preserve technical detail while helping someone see where to look next. The product brings device-level checks and site-level evidence into the same investigation, with an optional appliance instead of a mandatory deployment.

04 / WHERE IT STANDS

Available today. Room to keep building.

The Android app, Windows app and local appliance are available as free tools. A self-hosted Premium operations layer is on the product roadmap for managing multiple locations.

The starting point was a problem I wanted to understand. The result is a set of tools that makes the investigation easier to follow.
