Live game network radar
Map every route between you and the server.
NetDragonRadar plots latency, jitter, and packet loss like an elevation map — so you can see the ridges and valleys in your connection before they cost you the match. Built in Corktown, tuned for competitive play across North America.
Founder note
We started with one lost ranked ladder.
In 2019 I dropped from Diamond to Platinum over a single weekend — not because my aim slipped, but because a peering change quietly rerouted my traffic through Chicago and back. I spent three nights with traceroute and a spreadsheet trying to prove it. That spreadsheet became NetDragonRadar.
We build the tooling I wish I had that weekend: a real-time radar that reads your route the way a topographic map reads terrain — every hop, every climb in latency, every unstable valley of packet loss laid out plainly. No dashboards full of numbers you have to decode alone.
Today a small team of network engineers and gamers runs this out of a workshop on Parliament Street. We answer our own support line, and we still get genuinely annoyed at a bad hop. That has not changed.

How it works
Four steps from noisy ping to a clean route.
A guided flow that takes you from your first scan to a tuned, monitored connection — most players finish the whole thing in an afternoon.
- 01
Run the radar sweep
Install the lightweight desktop agent and pick your games. Within 90 seconds it maps every hop between your machine and the game servers you actually play on, flagging the ones adding the most delay.
Free · 90-second setup
- 02
Read your elevation map
We render your route as a contour map: flat green stretches are healthy, steep climbs are latency spikes, and shaded valleys mark packet loss. You will know exactly which hop is hurting you.
Included with every plan
- 03
Apply a tuned route
One click reroutes your traffic through our optimized relays in Toronto, New York, and Chicago. Independent A/B pings show the before and after so you can trust the change, not just hope.
Pro · CAD $14/month
- 04
Keep watch on match day
Ranked Guard monitors your connection during sessions and alerts you the moment jitter or loss creeps in — with a one-tap failover to a backup relay so a bad hop never ends your climb.

From the community
What players see after the first week.
Watch a two-minute walkthrough of a real route being tuned, then read what the ladder grinders had to say.
The contour map instantly showed a bad hop in Buffalo I never would have found. Rerouted through Toronto and my ranked ping dropped from 74ms to 38ms. Back in Diamond within two weeks.
Ranked Guard caught jitter mid-scrim and failed over before I even noticed. That single feature is worth the subscription for our whole roster.
I am not a network person. The map made it obvious, the fix was one click, and support actually answered the phone when I called. Rare these days.
