What is Traceroute?

Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that traces the path packets take from IPWhois.net servers to a target IP address or domain. It shows each hop (intermediate router) along the route, including the IP address, hostname, country, and response time. The map visualizes the geographic path of the data.

How to Use This Tool

Enter a valid IP address (e.g., 8.8.8.8) or domain (e.g., google.com) in the form above and click "Trace Route". The tool will display a table of hops and a map showing the route from our server in Germany to the target. Ensure your browser allows HTTPS connections for accurate results.

Uses of Traceroute

• Network Troubleshooting: Identify delays or failures in network paths.
• Performance Analysis: Measure response times between hops.
• Geolocation Insights: Visualize the geographic route of data packets.
• Security Monitoring: Detect unusual routing patterns or potential network issues.
