A free, open-source desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux that maps traceroute hops and adds network and latency context.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.
For
Network troubleshooters and curious traceroute users
Worth noticing
It rejects a France placement 10,744 km from Manila when the hop’s 27 ms round trip allows at most 3,054 km.

Field notes

The app uses the local tracert, traceroute, or mtr command and reports which tool, flags, and lookups answered. Its location check uses roughly 200 km per millisecond of fibre travel and adds 300 km of slack for an approximate origin; placements beyond that distance are rejected. The page also describes AS-path and RPKI context, RIPE data, and comparisons between repeated traces.
