- For
- Linux network technicians and administrators
- Worth noticing
- Its unprivileged mode reads existing interface state; root-only probes run in an isolated network namespace.
Field notes
Without root, fluGATO reads the link state and network details Linux already has; elevated tests run the test port in its own network namespace, keeping its address, routes, and DNS separate from the host. The page says the install is a single file under ~/.local/bin, needs Python 3, supports x86_64 and arm64, and can be removed with its uninstall command. The separate pocket tester's inline capture is explicitly not yet part of the terminal app.
