RIPE Atlas runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 44 installs a week from npm. Last commit 7 Jul 2026.
RIPE Atlas network measurements — ping, traceroute, DNS, TLS, HTTP, NTP, and probes
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check RIPE Atlas every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
