Looking.house - free Looking Glass service for providers
Dear provider,
For a long time, many providers have used the following script to set up Looking Glass points:
https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass
This instrument has 2 significant disadvantages:
- providers have to install the script on the server themselves and keep track of how it works;
- there is no way of finding out on which servers the script was installed using just one resource.
A new website was launched last year, solving both of these problems. I am offering https://looking.house as a completely free of charge service to providers.
The site features 163 Looking Glass points from 87 providers located in 32 countries. If you want to add your point to the global map all you have to do is provide a virtual server complying with basic requirements (5 GB disk space, 256 MB RAM, 600 MHz CPU), we will do the rest ourselves.
Every provider that adds a point to the map will have a page with a list of all the provider’s points.
There will also be a separate page for every point where you can download files to check speed and execute the following commands: host, ping, traceroute, and mtr.
You can use the point's IP address to view a simple version of the page and add this page to your site as a link or frame.
Please contact us at [email protected] to add a point. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions.

It is "free for providers" to... give you a free VPS? O.o
who would have expected
I'd say this is a modest requirement, although it would have been better if the provider can manage the VM, and not the OP
Amazing! Loved it!
How does this compare to http://lg.ring.nlnog.net/?

^ is Hetzner, not OVH Roubaix
Nice project, but domain is terrible. Source it on Github. Community will take proper care of it.
Really nice project!
Hope every providers will understand the benefit for everyone.
But your own hoster is obviously not the best "around the world" :-)
Did you even check out the website mentioned by OP?
how to ping from multiple provider ?
you might check https://mtr.sh/

Nice site.
Add new locations: India or Pakistan, Malaysia, 1 or 2 African countries like South Africa.
Thank you. This point was located in OVH initially and then provider transfered it to Hetzner. Updated.
Unfortunately “looking.glass” domain is already taken and its owner wants about $200,000. Maybe community would take care of it?
I'll add this feature to my "to do" list. Thank you.
Thanks. Unfortunately nobody wants to provide points there.
For PAR, try mzunguhosting. They will not refuse. Reply to your request can be delayed for 5 - 10 years.
