Are websites and social media apps blocked? Is your network unusually slow? Run OONI Probe to find out!
With this app, you will examine the blocking of websites and instant messaging apps, measure your network's speed and performance, and check whether systems that could be responsible for censorship and surveillance are in your network.
OONI Probe is developed by the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), a free software project (under The Tor Project) that aims to uncover internet censorship around the world.
Since 2012, OONI’s global community has collected millions of network measurements from more than 200 countries, shedding light on multiple cases of network interference.
Collect evidence of internet censorship
You can check whether and how websites and instant messaging apps are blocked. The network measurement data you will collect may serve as evidence of internet censorship.
Detect systems responsible for censorship and surveillance
OONI Probe tests are also designed to uncover the presence of systems (middleboxes) that could be responsible for censorship and surveillance.
Measure the speed and performance of your network
You can measure the speed and performance of your network by running OONI's implementation of the Network Diagnostic Test (NDT). You can also measure video streaming performance with the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) test.
Open data
OONI publishes network measurement data because open data allows third parties to verify OONI findings, conduct independent studies, and answer other research questions. Openly publishing OONI data also helps increase transparency of internet censorship around the world. You can explore and download OONI data here: https://ooni.io/data/
Free software
All OONI Probe tests (including our NDT and DASH implementations), are based on free and open source software. You can find OONI software projects on GitHub: https://github.com/ooni. Curious to learn how OONI Probe tests work? Learn more: https://ooni.io/nettest/

Bug Fixes and Improvements
This exciting release includes a new OONI Probe test for the Signal Private Messenger app! You can now measure the blocking of Signal.
- Disable app usage metric collection
- Fix bug in initialisation of crash reporting
In this release we improved the onboarding process to improve the informed consent procedure.
We are working hard to ensure we monitor and fix all crashes and misbehaviour of the app to give you the best user experience
We're excited to share that the latest OONI Probe version features a brand new test for RiseupVPN!
Thanks to the LEAP collective (who developed this new test), you can now check whether RiseupVPN works on your network.
- Tests are run as Android services: a notifications of test progress is displayed
- You can now free up space by deleting old measurement files in the app settings
- OONI Probe engine updated to v0.21.0
* Removed the "Include Network Info" setting in order to collect ASNs by default (as ASN information is necessary)
* Removed the "Include my IP address" setting (to ensure greater protections for users)
* Removed the Sharing section, and moved "Publish results" under the Privacy settings
* Probe engine updated to v0.20.2
* Minor fixes and improvements
* Fixed a bug to ensure that the ASN is not leaked in the report ID of measurements when users have opted out of ASN collection
* Removed all dependencies from the C++ Measurement Kit engine
* Made the app rely entirely on the new Go probe engine
* General improvements and minor bug fixes
- WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger tests rewritten in golang
- Middlebox tests rewritten in golang
* Download JSON from OONI Explorer
* Copy OONI Explorer URLs
* Auto-deletion of uploaded measurement logs and JSON files
* Setting for manual (re-)upload of measurements
* Email support for bug reports
* Improved view of test methodologie
* Improved OONI Run screen for better website testing (i.e. not supporting malformed URLs)
* UI improvements to performance test results
* Stability fixes
