It's actually a separate piece of hardware at think broadband. It sends a ping request (A small data packet that the target echoes back if pings are enabled) to your IP every few seconds and logs the response. The website provides a means of accessing that log in a graphical form for posting on forums.

Since it runs outside VM's network it is a useful guide to your accesses to the wider net.
