FreePortScanner 2.9.7 is out!

A small and fast port scanner

FreePortScanner is a small Windows application that allows users to scan specific ports on a given IP.

The foundation of this application is a very simple interface that needs absolutely no other information except for the port numbers and the IP the user wishes to scan.

While all the fields are located at the top of the main window, the rest of the window is being used by the results of the scan which include IP address, port name, number and status and description.

As you can see, FreePortScanner is pretty easy to use and beginners should have absolutely no problem in figuring out which feature is which, so a help file is completely missing from the package.

Using TCP packets to find out which hosts and ports are opened, FreePortScanner lets you provide not only specific ports to be scanned, but also entire ranges.

Unfortunately, the application displays some advertisement right in the main window, while the “Files” menu also comes with a few options that take the users to the official website of the developer.

The same thing happens every time the application launches as well, with the browser automatically opened and redirected to the main page of the creator.

The good thing is that FreePortScanner runs on low computer resources, but on Windows 7 there are moments when the program is not responding at all, so you need to close it using Task Manager.

Overall, FreePortScanner is a handy utility to scan ports and hosts, but some of the links displayed in the main window may be pretty annoying to many users out there. Especially when taking into account that the market is already full of similar apps doing exactly the same thing.

FreePortScanner is a small Windows application that allows users to scan specific ports on a given IP.
