Trace the network path to any hostname or IP - hop-by-hop latency, packet loss, and geolocation from our VPS in Vienna, Austria.
ICMP sends ping packets. TCP and UDP trace towards a port, and get through firewalls that drop ping packets.
Enter a hostname or IP address to run a traceroute
Traceroute reveals the sequence of routers a packet passes through on its way to a destination by sending packets with incrementally increasing TTL (Time to Live) values. Each router that drops a packet due to TTL expiry sends back an ICMP "Time Exceeded" message, exposing its IP and the round-trip time to that hop.
This tool runs from a dedicated VPS in Vienna, Austria, using mtr to perform real TTL-based hop tracing with ICMP. Each hop shows the responding router IP, round-trip latency (avg/best/worst), packet loss percentage, and geolocation via MaxMind GeoLite2.
Asterisks (* * *) in a traditional traceroute indicate hops where the router does not respond to ICMP probes - usually firewalled. The path continues normally beyond unresponsive hops.
