Internets Down?
A silly command line utility to check network connection and do some simple tests to understand what the current problem is, if any.
Currently, it performs the following checks:
- Check there is an active network connection (e.g. connected to WiFi)
- Ping internal and external gateway (if available)
- Ping default DNS and an additional DNS server
- Perform a DNS lookup
- Make a HTTPS connection
Why?
First, to understand and learn TypeScript, second, because I actually need to use this.
Installation
$ npm i -g internets-down
Usage
Simply just run from the command line:
$ internets-down
Results will be similar to the following:
✔ Loading network information
✔ Checking network interface
✔ Checking gateway
✔ Checking DNS
✔ Checking DNS lookup
✔ Checking HTTP
All checks passed 🙂
A few options can be provided from the command and are visible using the internets-down --help
:
Usage: internets-down [options]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
--dns <ip> Additional DNS server to check (default: "1.1.1.1")
--gateway <ip> External gateway to check
--hostname <host> Hostname to check (default: "example.com")
-h, --help display help for command
Non-zero exit code indicates failures. Time outs are set to 1 second.
