Do you know what's happening on your network right now, or whether your devices are exposed to intrusion? IP Tools + security brings comprehensive network and security scanning to your screen, letting you run diagnostics that would take multiple tools to piece together elsewhere. On a PC, you can monitor your network configuration, scan for vulnerabilities, and track application behavior while keeping the app running across sessions: all without switching between your phone and computer.

IP Tools + security on PC delivers a complete picture of your network's health and security posture centrally. The app combines network discovery, performance monitoring, and active threat detection into a single interface you can access from your desktop. If you're managing a home network or checking device activity on a computer you use daily, running IP Tools + security for Windows PC letting you investigate issues, test firewall rules, and spot compromised credentials without leaving your workstation.

Network Discovery and Monitoring

Understanding your network starts with seeing what's actually connected to it. IP Tools + security performs network discovery by identifying devices on your local network, capturing IP addresses, MAC addresses, and vendor information. The app scans WiFi access points and logs signal strength, DHCP settings, and DNS configuration. It also runs ping tests to check connectivity to your router or the internet, and traceroute commands show you the path data takes across hops, identifying geographic and organizational details at each step. On your PC, these diagnostics run faster and stay accessible in a permanent window alongside other tasks on other tasks.

Security Scanning and Threat Detection

The security side of IP Tools + security focuses on finding what could go wrong before it does. The app includes the following capabilities:

  • Port scanning on individual devices or your entire network to identify open ports and penetration risks
  • Real-time malware monitoring to detect threats as they occur
  • Traffic inspection that identifies malicious content flowing through your connection
  • Firewall testing by scanning from the internet side to confirm your defenses
  • Compromised email checking: enter your address to see if it appears in known data breaches
  • Phishing education and URL testing to verify websites against your firewall rules

Application and Process Analysis

Every threat starts with code running on your device. IP Tools + security logs which applications are in use, how often they run, and details of their setup and behavior patterns. This lets you spot unexpected processes consuming resources or making network connections. On a desktop, keeping a persistent view of application activity helps you catch unusual behavior while you're working through your day, and you can cross-reference findings against your security scan results without switching devices.

Reports and Ongoing Monitoring

Once you've scanned your network and devices, IP Tools + security generates a security report you can email to yourself or colleagues. The app includes a widget for quick status checks, and premium features unlock live scanning intervals so you detect intrusions before they spread. Running IP Tools + security for computer gives you the keyboard input and screen real estate to review findings in detail, bookmark results, and plan remediation steps without the constraints of a mobile screen.

FAQ

What is the difference between running IP Tools + security on my phone versus on PC?

On your phone, the app gives you portable access to network tools and security checks. On your PC, you can run continuous monitoring, keep reports and findings open in persistent windows, and investigate issues on the same device where you manage your network. The desktop version lets you multitask: compare scan results with documentation, test firewall rules, and track long-term activity without closing the app.

Can IP Tools + security scan all devices on my network at once?

Yes. The app performs network discovery on your entire local network, identifying every connected device by IP, MAC address, and vendor. It can also run port scans across all devices to check for exposed services and vulnerabilities. This network-wide scanning is one of the main reasons users move the app to a PC: you can run a complete audit without waiting for scans to complete on a slower mobile device.

Does IP Tools + security tell me if my email has been compromised?

The app includes a compromised email check feature. You enter your email address and it reports whether that address appears in known data breaches. This is useful for understanding your exposure and whether you need to change passwords or enable two-factor authentication on key accounts.

What does the malware monitoring feature do?

IP Tools + security runs real-time malware detection on your traffic, flagging known threats and suspicious patterns. On a PC, this monitoring can run continuously in the background, and you can review alerts without interrupting your workflow. Premium features unlock live scanning intervals so you detect threats faster than manual spot-checks.

Is IP Tools + security a VPN, or does it work with one?

IP Tools + security is a diagnostic and security scanning tool, not a VPN. It examines your network configuration, tests your defenses, and monitors your devices for malware and intrusions. If you're using a fastest VPN network or another privacy tool, IP Tools + security can still scan your local network and devices, helping you verify your firewall and check whether unwanted services are running. The app's security functions work independently of VPN hiding traces: they scan your actual network setup and warn you of local risks.
