What problem does it solve?
macOS network debugging sequences that illuminate DNS resolution paths, firewall layers, Tailscale connectivity, mDNS/Bonjour, and SSH tunneling. Designed to go beyond man pages, it provides structured, repeatable checks for common network issues.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Diagnoses DNS and mDNS resolution paths, including split-DNS scenarios, to identify resolver misconfigurations.
- Verifies firewall and packet-filter states (ALF and PF) and pinpoints blocks affecting connectivity.
- Checks Tailscale health, magic DNS, and SSH tunneling patterns to facilitate secure remote access.
- Real-world use: quickly triage a machine that cannot reach an internal service by following guided steps and validating each layer.
Quick Start
Run the diagnostic sequence with the default command to begin troubleshooting your macOS network stack.
