The agent is a single static binary — deploy it on Hetzner, Linode, OVH, DigitalOcean, AWS, or bare metal. It dials out over an encrypted connection and opens no ports.

Everything you need to monitor and troubleshoot

The tools you already trust, from vantage points you control.

Run from your own servers

Install the agent wherever you have a box. Each one becomes a queryable location on your private looking glass — no managed PoPs to wait for.

Live streaming output

Output streams to your browser line-by-line over WebSockets, exactly like a real terminal — no polling, no refresh.

The tools you trust

ping, traceroute, mtr, and iperf3 — IPv4 and IPv6. The same output you'd run by hand, just from somewhere else. Available today.

Early access

BGP route queries

See the full routing picture — show ip route and show ip bgp from your nodes. Rolling out now; join the early access list.

Outbound-only & secure

The agent makes a single outbound, encrypted connection. It opens no ports and accepts no inbound traffic — safe to run on production servers.

API & white-label

Pull cached latency from GET /api/v1/latency as JSON, and on Pro serve the looking glass from your own domain and branding.

Get your own looking glass in minutes

Install a lightweight agent, connect securely, and start running queries.

1

Install the agent

Add a node in the dashboard and run the one-line install on a server you control. It's a single static binary — no runtime, no dependencies.

2

Secure connection

The agent establishes an outbound, encrypted connection to BGP Glass. Nothing listens; nothing is exposed.

3

Launch your looking glass

Your node shows up online and your looking glass is live. Run queries from the portal or automate them with the API.
