UNCAPPED. UNSHAPED. UNTHROTTLED.
The UrbanX Looking Glass is a ping tool that lets you test the stability and latency of your connection to any game server IP address. Enter a server's IP, hit "Run Test," and get instant results showing your ping rate, packet loss, and connection quality.
This is designed specifically for gamers who need to know whether a server will deliver a smooth, lag-free experience before jumping into a match. No complicated setup — just paste an IP and test.
The Looking Glass is useful when you want to:
Get your ping rate in seconds. The tool sends ICMP packets to the target IP and measures the round-trip time — showing you exactly how fast your connection responds.
Designed with competitive gaming in mind. Know your min, average, and max latency before you queue up. Lower ping = faster response = competitive edge.
Packet loss and jitter matter as much as raw ping. The test shows whether your connection is dropping packets or introducing inconsistency that causes rubber-banding in-game.
UrbanX peers directly at NAPAfrica, JINX, and international exchanges. Your ping results reflect the optimised routing that UrbanX delivers to game servers in SA and globally.
Test connectivity to any IP address or hostname worldwide. Whether it's a local SA game server or one in Europe, paste the IP and get your results instantly.
The Looking Glass network tool is simple to use. First, locate the IP address of any game server you intend to play on. This can be done through online searches and should look something like this (IP: 41.79.212.6). Once you have the IP address, input it into the Network Test bar to test your connection's stability and ping rate to that server instantly.
Using this tool, you can stay up to date about which servers provide the lowest ping and most reliable connection, leading to less lag and an overall better gaming experience. Once you find a server online, just copy its IP address, paste it into the network test bar, and hit "run test." In seconds, you'll have detailed information on your connection's stability and speed.
With the Looking Glass test, you can pinpoint the best servers for your gaming needs, ensuring every game session is smooth and responsive. Whether you're into online multiplayer games, casual co-op games with friends or streaming, this tool optimises your internet connectivity, to keep you informed. It's time to stay informed and experience the difference with the UrbanX Looking Glass Network tool.
