Terms of Service

Acceptable use

Use LinuxCLI only against hosts and domains you own, operate, or are otherwise authorized to test — for example your own infrastructure, or public DNS/WHOIS records that anyone is allowed to query.

Do not use LinuxCLI to probe, harass, gather information about, or otherwise interfere with third-party systems without authorization. This includes using it as a building block for automated reconnaissance against targets you don't control.

Only the fixed set of read-only diagnostic tools offered on the site is available. There is no active port scanning (nmap, masscan, etc.), no file upload, and no persistent shell — attempts to work around these limits (e.g. via crafted arguments) are themselves a violation of these terms, separate from whatever the command validator already blocks technically.

Rate limits and enforcement

Usage is rate-limited per IP address (and per API key, if you generate or register one). Limits exist to keep the service available for everyone, not to meter a paid product — there is currently no paid tier.

Accounts or IP addresses used abusively — to violate the acceptable use section above, to circumvent rate limits, or to attack the service itself — may be rate-limited further or blocked, without notice, at the operator's discretion.

No warranty, no uptime guarantee

LinuxCLI is provided as-is, free of charge, with no uptime or availability guarantee. It may be slow, rate-limited, partially unavailable, or discontinued at any time without notice. Do not build anything business-critical on top of it.

Command output comes from real, live tools (dig, curl, whois, etc.) run against real, live infrastructure you point them at — LinuxCLI does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of that output, only that it faithfully runs the command you typed and returns what the tool itself produced.
