Questions

A hop shows loss but the destination does not. Is something broken?

Usually not. Many routers rate-limit the ICMP replies they send about themselves while forwarding everything else perfectly. Pulse tells that apart from real loss and labels it, so a hop that only declines to answer for itself is not reported as a fault.

Why does a traceroute show gaps or stars?

A hop that never answers has been configured not to. The path still works through it; it simply will not identify itself.

The Health Check says another device is using my address.

Two devices are answering ARP for the same address. That is worth investigating: a static address handed out twice, or a device that kept an address after the lease moved.

The certificate check says the chain is incomplete, but my browser is happy.

That is exactly the case it exists for. Safari and Chrome fetch a missing intermediate certificate themselves and cache it, so the site looks fine to you and fails for curl, Java, Python and anything else that does not. The server should be sending its intermediates.

Do I need Pulse Pro?

Not for the measuring. Every tool is free, and so is the last seven days of history. Pro adds the AI diagnosis, the link test between your own devices, two interfaces at once, comparison, export and full synced history.

How do I cancel?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple: iOS Settings, your name at the top, then Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal and Pro stays active until the period you paid for ends.

Restore a purchase on a new device

Open Pulse Pro from Settings inside the app and choose Restore. It uses the Apple Account signed in on the device.

Does anything I measure leave my device?

Only if you ask for an AI diagnosis, and the app tells you exactly what that sends before the first one. The privacy page lists it in full.
