02the service records automatically

The service starts with Windows and waits for a supported game. While you play, it finds the game server and records latency, jitter, and packet loss. It shares each verified recording by default. If sharing fails, the recording stays on your machine.

There is no packet-capture driver and no game-process access: it uses documented Windows networking APIs and runs safely beside anti-cheat.

03check the tray icon

The tray icon shows whether the service is waiting, recording, or unavailable. Double-click it to open the session folder. Closing the tray does not stop the service.

privacywhat leaves your machine

A shared recording holds the stats for each server, the game ID, the client version, how your connection reaches the internet, and a random installation ID — no account, MAC address, or hardware ID. The server uses your IP once, in memory, to find your ISP and region, then discards it. Sessions stay under %ProgramData%\PingRank, even after you uninstall.
