It has to run as root / Admin in order to do ICMP in order to test buffer bloat.

If you run it under a non privileged user account it cannot get permission for ICMP, so although it locates the nearest servers using http ping, it isn't doing any buffer bloat testing.

I'm not sure that is the issue but that's the first thing that comes to mind..

The command line tool is available to anyone now (Windows, OSX and linux),
it does buffer bloat probing, using ICMP if run as root, and is immune to

This does not seem to be reporting any bloat info (I've run it a couple times)
