Trace the route from the hublist server toward a public DC++ or Direct Connect hub and review the hops that answer.

Purpose

The tool runs a bounded traceroute to the public target and lists hop number, hostname, address, latency samples, and the bounded raw hop line.

When To Use It

  • Investigate a route that fails before the hub host.
  • Compare regional paths after a hosting or provider change.
  • Put high ping latency in the context of transit distance or congestion.

Reading The Results

Each responding row represents a router or network boundary along this server's path. A large latency increase can identify a long or congested segment. The final visible hop may or may not be the hub host.

Limitations

Routers commonly hide or rate-limit traceroute replies, so timeouts and missing hops do not prove that the DC++ service is offline. The route from another client network can be different, and traceroute does not test an NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, or ADCS login.

For a hop-by-hop example and comparison steps, open Traceroute.

Hub Traceroute Tool

Trace the network path from the hublist server to a public hub hostname or IP address.

Enter a public hostname, IP address, or hub-style address such as dchub://example.com:411.

 Ping Tool

Test whether a public DC++ or Direct Connect hub hostname responds to ICMP ping, then review packet loss, latency, and DNS resolution.

 WHOIS Tool

Look up public WHOIS, registrar, domain, and network ownership information for Direct Connect hub hostnames and IP addresses.

 DNS Dig Tool

Run dig-style DNS checks for Direct Connect hub hostnames and inspect A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, and TXT records.

 DNS Overview Tool

Review A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, and TXT records for public Direct Connect hub hostnames from the hublist server.

 Reverse DNS Tool

Check reverse DNS PTR hostnames for public IP addresses used by Direct Connect and DC++ hubs.

 TCP Connect Tool

Test whether a specific public Direct Connect TCP port accepts connections from the hublist server for NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, and ADCS hubs.

 DC++ Active Mode Check

Check whether your DC++ client listening port appears reachable from the public internet for active mode.

 Protocol Test Tool

Test whether a public DC++ hub endpoint accepts dchub, NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, or ADCS connections from the hublist server.

 TLS Certificate Tool

Inspect public TLS certificate details for secure Direct Connect endpoints, NMDCS hubs, ADCS hubs, or related hostnames.

 Port Scan Tool

Run a bounded public TCP check against common Direct Connect hub ports and see which NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, or ADCS ports appear reachable.
