Connect Hound

Start in dry run. With dry run on, Connect Hound reads search pages and highlights the buttons it would press, but never clicks Connect or Send. Watch the worker tab for a day, then turn dry run off. Dry run (nothing is clicked or sent)

Licence

Dry run works without a licence. Live sending needs an active subscription or trial from connecthound.com. Your key was shown after checkout and emailed to you; resend it or manage billing.
