Internet.nl
Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform that helps you to check whether your website, email and internet connection use modern and reliable Internet Standards. And if they don’t, what can you do about it?
Background
With the test tool Internet.nl users can easily check whether their internet is 'up to date' i.e. if their website, email and internet connection use modern internet standards. The tool provides detailed background information on the test results with (pointers to) how-to's and manuals.
The test tool Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform which is a collaboration of partners from the internet community and the Dutch government. The platform's mission is to jointly promote the use of modern internet standards keeping the internet reliable and accessible for everybody. ECP provides for the administrative home of the platform. NLnet Labs laid the foundation for Internet.nl and the underlying tooling.
From 1 April 2021 onwards, maintenance and further development will be carried out by the project team of the Internet Standards Platform.
Scope
Currently the following modern internet standards are considered within scope:
- IPv6 (modern address),
- DNSSEC (signed domain),
- HTTPS (secure website connection),
- website security options (such as security headers),
- STARTTLS and DANE (secure mail server connection),
- DMARC+DKIM+SPF (anti-spoofing), and
- RPKI (secure routing).
Web standards (such as HTML) or identity standards (like SAML or OpenID Connect) are out of scope.
Although many of the tested internet standards contribute to a higher security level of your website, mail service or internet connection, a 100% score does not mean that an online service is fully secure. There are more aspects which are important for the security of your online services. But these are out of scope for Internet.nl. Please keep in mind that Internet.nl is foremost intended as an internet standards compliance test and not as a security test.
Documentation
To develop or run your own instance, see the documentation overview.
Building blocks
Internet.nl was made possible by using and combining other open source software. The main open source building blocks of Internet.nl are:
- Python 3 (main programming language)
- Django (web framework)
- PostgreSQL (database)
- Celery (asynchronous tasks backend)
- Redis (cache backend for Django and Celery)
- RabbitMQ (message broker for Celery)
- nassl (Python bindings for OpenSSL)
- unbound/libunbound (DNS related tests and functionality)
- Postfix (mail server for interactive email test, beta)
