A free, open-source network diagnostic tool that combines traceroute and ping statistics in a desktop app and command-line mode.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: Gamers, sysadmins, NOC teams, and ISP support users
Worth noticing: Its example traces 18 hops from Czechia to Tokyo and explains how early ICMP reply loss can coexist with a healthy path.

Field notes

The sample trace runs from a home router in Czechia to a server in Tokyo, with 18 hops and a long intercontinental jump through Hong Kong. The page cautions that early routers may rate-limit ICMP replies, so loss reported on those hops does not by itself mean the route is unhealthy. It also describes command-line reporting for scripts and CI, alongside CSV and JSON export.
