## What it is
LookingGlass is a user-friendly PHP web application that lets the public run network diagnostic commands (ping, traceroute, mtr, host) against your server via a browser interface. It supports IPv4 and IPv6, live output via long polling, multiple themes, and rate limiting of commands.

## Use cases
- host a public looking glass for my VPS or network
- let users run ping and traceroute tests against my server from a browser
- diagnose network routes to my server with mtr via a web page
- provide IPv4 and IPv6 network test tools for my hosting customers
- set up a network diagnostics page with rate limiting
- deploy a looking glass on nginx or apache with PHP

## When to choose
- you run a VPS, VPN, or hosting service and want to offer public network diagnostics
- you need a quick, self-hosted looking glass with automated bash installation
- you want IPv6 support and live streaming command output in a simple PHP app

## When to avoid
- your server does not run PHP (>=5.3) with PDO SQLite
- you need a modern framework-based looking glass with API access rather than a web page
- the project's last release in 2022 means you require actively maintained software with recent security updates
