About this tool

Free online traceroute. See each hop along the path from our server to a destination, with per-hop response times, to diagnose routing problems.

Frequently asked questions

Which protocol is used?

Lightweight reachability probes with an incrementing hop limit.

Why do some hops show asterisks?

Those routers do not reply to probes; it is normal and the path still continues.

Does it show my own path?

No — it shows the path from our server to the target, which is what you want for reachability tests.
