Hi anyone any suggestion about how to set up F8lure packet loss/ ping application - https://f8lure.mouselike.org/
I have it working fine on an ADSL line i have in London but can't seem to get it to work at all with FTTC connection recently installed up north - package 80/20 ( or rather that's what I signed up far) - anything but so far.- so wanting to check/ document ping/package loss
I have the plusnet one Hub - which seems identical to BT HH5 ( which I also have access to ) but after setting test on F8lure website - it is constantly reporting line down - Is it the Modem firewall blocking ( I notice a option in firewall to turn it off - entirely which i tried for a short while but tests still not getting through - I'm not keen to keep it permanently off) or is there a setting/option that will allow remote pings to modem to be accepted /acknowledged
I have used this site/service with no problems using Netgear routers on my ADSL packages - but no luck on FTTC
Regards - comments /assistance would be appreciated

Thanks - suspected that may be the answer - will swap out the Plusnet hub with something else that will allow it in due course

hi - the info needed for Host field is either your external IP addy or no-ip type dns address if your use it to resolve a frequently chaning dynamic ip address
Other 2 fields are optional info say ISP and exchange
Kindly not it will not work with Plusnet One Hub or BT Home hub 5
Hub/router must be able to respond to ICMP pings
Regards
fyi data shows in following format
