PepperPing is a totally free ping tool, with a modern GUI, developed to support me during my daily job (I’m a SysAdmin).
Basically I needed a graphical ping tool, nice to see but with strong and detailed log features also, in order to continuously monitor my internet lines (FTTH, FTTC and xDSL) and, at the same time, to keep track of network devices uptime (PCs, printers, routers, firewalls, IoT devices, etc.).
So, PepperPing is primarily an unattended software that monitor something for you.
Since it could be helpful to other IT pros or everyone needs an advanced ping tool, I wanted to publish it for free.
