probe.tpc-hosting.net This server runs the live checks behind TPC Hosting's free tools (https://tpc-hosting.com/tools/). Every connection it makes is started by a person using one of these tools: - SSL Checker: a few TLS handshakes to the site the visitor named (ports 443, 8443, 465, 993, 995) - SMTP Test: connects to a domain's mail servers on port 25, says EHLO, tries STARTTLS and quits. It never sends mail. - Open Port Checker: only ever tests the visitor's own IP address - Dig Online and DNS Trace: DNS questions on port 53 to public resolvers, the root and TLD servers, a domain's own nameservers, or a nameserver the visitor named Checks are rate limited per visitor and per target. If you think this server contacted you in error, write to abuse@tpc-hosting.com with the time (UTC) and your IP address. ip4.tpc-hosting.net, ip6.tpc-hosting.net and ip46.tpc-hosting.net exist for the IPv6 Test on tpc-hosting.com (https://tpc-hosting.com/tools/ipv6-test/): they only tell your browser which address it reached them from.
