OpenPacketLoss-Server is a lightweight utility that transforms your computer into a dedicated network testing endpoint. By hosting the server on your own hardware, you can measure the precise quality of the connection between two points on your network, eliminating the unpredictable variables of the public internet.
How to Use It
Run the Server: Launch the app on a stable PC or laptop—this becomes your "target" device.
Connect the Client: Use any OpenPacketLoss client on a different device (such as a phone, tablet, or another PC).
Troubleshoot: Start the test to view real-time packet loss, jitter, and latency.
Why Run Your Own Server?
Testing against a server you control allows you to isolate your hardware. You can instantly determine if connection drops are caused by faulty cables, weak Wi-Fi, or router congestion, or if the issue is actually with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
