# Touring the Dashboard

MyIP puts everything on one long page. You scroll down through six sections, and each one tests a different part of your connection. Most of them start running the moment the page opens.

This page walks you through the layout so you know where to look.

## The six sections

The top navigation bar lists all six. Click a name to jump to that section.

### 1. IP Infos

The first thing you see. MyIP asks several independent servers "what is my address?" and shows each answer as its own card, with the country, city, ISP, and network number underneath.

You can show 2, 4, or 6 cards. See [Reading Your IP Cards](/knowledge-base/getting-started/reading-your-ip-cards.md) for what every field means and why cards can disagree.

Full guide: [IP Information](/knowledge-base/connection-tools/ip-information.md)

### 2. Connectivity

Also called **Network Connectivity**. MyIP tries to load a tiny image from well-known sites such as Google, GitHub, and YouTube, and reports whether each one answered and how long it took. You can add your own sites to the list.

The response times are rough — treat them as "reachable / not reachable" first, and as speed second.

Full guide: [Connectivity Check](/knowledge-base/connection-tools/connectivity-check.md)

### 3. WebRTC Leak Test

WebRTC is a browser feature used by video calls. It can sometimes reveal an address that your VPN or proxy does not cover. This section shows which address WebRTC exposes, and guesses your NAT type.

Full guide: [WebRTC Test](/knowledge-base/connection-tools/webrtc-test.md)

### 4. DNS Leak Test

Shows which DNS servers actually answered your browser's lookups. If you use a VPN and the answers come from your home ISP, that is a DNS leak.

Full guide: [DNS Leak Test](/knowledge-base/connection-tools/dns-leak-test.md)

### 5. Speed Test

Measures download speed, upload speed, and latency against Cloudflare's edge network. This one does **not** start on its own — you press the start button.

Full guide: [Speed Test](/knowledge-base/network-tests/speed-test.md)

### 6. Advanced Tools

A grid of extra tools that open in a panel: Global Latency, MTR Test, DNS Resolution, Rule Test, Censorship Check, Service Status, Whois Search, MAC lookup, Browser Info, Security Checklist, and more.

Hover **Advanced Tools** in the top navigation bar to see the full list without scrolling.

## Keyboard navigation

MyIP is built for the keyboard. Press <kbd>?</kbd> at any time to see the complete, up-to-date list inside the app.

| Key                                                 | What it does                                      |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>?</kbd>                                        | Show the shortcut list                            |
| <kbd>j</kbd> / <kbd>k</kbd>                         | Move to the next / previous card                  |
| <kbd>o</kbd>                                        | Open the highlighted Advanced Tool                |
| <kbd>g</kbd> / <kbd>G</kbd>                         | Go to top / bottom of the page                    |
| <kbd>1</kbd>–<kbd>6</kbd>                           | Refresh that numbered IP card                     |
| <kbd>R</kbd>                                        | Refresh everything                                |
| <kbd>c</kbd> <kbd>w</kbd> <kbd>d</kbd> <kbd>s</kbd> | Re-run Connectivity, WebRTC, DNS Leak, Speed Test |
| <kbd>q</kbd>                                        | Query any IP address                              |
| <kbd>h</kbd>                                        | Toggle info masking (blurs your IPs on screen)    |
| <kbd>e</kbd>                                        | Open the Share Report dialog                      |

{% hint style="info" %}
Pressing <kbd>j</kbd> or <kbd>k</kbd> highlights one card at a time with a green outline. When the highlighted card is an Advanced Tool, <kbd>o</kbd> opens it.
{% endhint %}

Advanced Tools have their own letters too — <kbd>l</kbd> for Global Latency, <kbd>t</kbd> for MTR Test, <kbd>W</kbd> for Whois Search, <kbd>b</kbd> for Browser Info, and so on. The <kbd>?</kbd> list shows them all.

## Dark mode

MyIP follows your system theme by default. To change it:

1. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
2. Under **Color Scheme**, pick **Auto**, **Day**, or **Night**.

The same Preferences panel also controls how many IP cards you see, which IP geolocation database is used, which tests run automatically on startup, and **Simple Mode** (hides the explanatory text under each section). Preferences are saved in your browser only.

## Installing MyIP as an app

MyIP is a Progressive Web App. Installing it gives you an icon and a clean window with no browser toolbar.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Desktop" %}
In Chrome or Edge, open the address bar and click the install icon on the right side, or use the browser menu and choose **Install**.

In Safari on macOS, use **File → Add to Dock**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Mobile" %}
On Android, open the Chrome menu and tap **Add to Home screen** or **Install app**.

On iPhone and iPad, tap the **Share** button in Safari, then **Add to Home Screen**.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

MyIP may also offer to install itself with a small dialog after you have visited a couple of times. You can dismiss it and install manually later.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The installed app still needs an internet connection. MyIP does not work offline — every test has to reach the network to have anything to report.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ipcheck.ing/knowledge-base/getting-started/touring-the-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
