What This Tool Checks

The traceroute tool shows the network hops between the hublist server and a public hub target when intermediate routers reply.

When To Use It

Use it when ping or TCP checks suggest routing problems, long paths, upstream filtering, or regional connectivity issues.

Why It Helps Hub Owners

Traceroute gives hub owners a wider view than a single ping result, especially when the route fails before reaching the server.

What To Check

  • Some networks hide or rate-limit traceroute replies, so missing hops are not always failures.
  • Compare traceroute with ping, TCP connect, and port scan results.
  • Long routes can explain high latency even when the hub is technically online.

Hub Traceroute Tool

Open Help

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.
