Lopa is a simple tool to check and keep an eye on your network’s quality. It works on your Windows computer and helps you see how well your network is performing. It uses active probes like ping and other signals, watches your network interfaces, and keeps track of changes. You control it through a user-friendly command line or by accessing an easy web page.
- Sends test signals to measure your network speed and reliability.
- Watches your network connections and reports on their status.
- Notifies you when network settings or connections change.
- Offers a simple web page (REST API) and command line to check status.
- Supports common network protocols like ICMP, TCP, UDP, and TWAMP-light.
This helps you find network problems before they affect your work or devices.
You need a Windows 7 or newer system with:
- At least 2 GB of RAM.
- 100 MB free disk space.
- Internet connection for testing.
- Administrator rights to run network probes.
Lopa runs smoothly on regular Windows laptops and desktops without special hardware.
