Fing Security
Fing Security monitors networks and checks routers for vulnerabilities, open ports, and threats. Scheduled router checks look for known vulnerabilities, outdated firmware, DNS hijacking risks, and exposed management interfaces. Fing can alert users when an unknown device joins and report its brand, model, and type. It also searches connected Wi-Fi networks for cameras and spy devices using a database of over 12 million known camera models. Fing Agent can run on Raspberry Pi, Docker, or NAS for ongoing automated checks. Integrations include Home Assistant, IFTTT, and the Fing Local API for presence data, network events, and custom automation. Fing identifies IT consultants, MSPs, and small businesses as users who can audit client networks and monitor security. The free plan allows up to three scans per day, while scheduled vulnerability scans and continuous threat detection require a subscription. Premium costs 7.99 USD per month for two monitored networks; Professional is 16.99 USD per month and includes three or more monitored networks, shared workspaces, multi-user collaboration, and advanced reporting. Fing says it is SOC 2 Type II certified.
Who it is for
Fing may suit home users who want to see devices on their network, as well as IT consultants, MSPs, and small businesses auditing or monitoring client networks. Its Agent and integrations may suit users seeking automated checks or network-event workflows.
