Wehe App lets you can quickly detect Net Neutrality violations on your network

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 77%. (I'm a bot)

App Attack is a weekly series where we search the App Store and Google Play Store for the best apps of the week.

How do we know if carriers aren't already violating net neutrality? This week, we have an app that will help you to see the extent that your provider is slowing down or even speeding up certain apps.

Wehe records the network traffic that the apps generate when people are using those apps, and then uses its own servers to simulate what is happening.

When running tests through the app, Wehe replays the traffic that it recorded pertaining to a specific app and sends it in the exact same way.

Users tend to get faster download speeds when the app sends traffic that is scrambled versus when providers are able to actually recognize what's being sent.

While there is the option of running network traffic from its own users to add to the library of apps available, Wehe wants to stay extremely privacy-conscious, since the traffic could contain personal information.
