Support

Write to support@ipscanner.pro. It is read by the people who build the scanner, not a ticket queue, so a short message with your operating system, what you expected and what actually happened is usually enough to get somewhere.

What to include

Most reports that go nowhere are missing one of these. None of it takes long, and together it is usually the difference between a fix and an exchange of guesses.

Please leave out anything you would not want in an email: credentials, a full inventory export of a network that is not yours, or the contents of a device you were investigating. We do not need them, and asking for them would be a bad habit for a tool built around keeping your data local.

Which channel to use

Common questions

How long will it take to get a reply?

We do not publish a response-time commitment, because a commitment we cannot keep is worse than none. Messages are read by the people building the product, and a clear, reproducible report gets attention faster than a general one.

Should I send my scan results?

Only if they are needed, and only after you have looked at them. An export lists private addresses, hostnames and MAC addresses from your network, which is information about you. A screenshot of the single row that misbehaved is usually more useful and shares far less.

The scanner cannot see a device I know is there. Is that a bug?

Sometimes, and sometimes it is the device. A machine can be configured not to answer, a firewall can drop probes, and guest or client isolation on a router deliberately hides devices from each other. Tell us what the device is and how it is connected and we can usually say which it was.

Can you help me scan a network I do not administer?

No. The product is for networks you own or are authorised to test, and that is a line we hold in the interface as well as in an answer here.

Is there a forum or a chat channel?

Not yet. Email is the only channel today, which keeps every report in one place while the product is small. If that changes it will be announced on this page.

Found something that looks like a security problem rather than a bug? It has its own process, so that it is handled properly and not discussed in public before there is a fix.
