This is more satisfying.

I wonder why you got so much for locations ?

Dave Lerner · 07-25-2016, 06:14 PM

Have you tried "tracepath"? If you don't have it installed, it's in the package "iputils-tracepath".

Fixit7 · 07-25-2016, 08:47 PM

Not much difference.

The servers might be configured to block the responses to the traceroute/tracepath requests. That could be specific to your IP address or address range.

Fixit7 · 07-26-2016, 12:12 AM

Interesting and thanks.

rayfward · 07-26-2016, 02:09 AM

This is almost certainly a firewall
You might want to change my line to say

Quote:

tracepath -p 80 yahoo.com

Http/Ftp port number in this case 80 which is http.

This what Traceroute uses Port 33434–33534 TCP UDP traceroute Official

I found out that I had my router firewall set to

Quote:

Maximum Security
Inbound Policy: Reject.
Remote Administration settings will override the inbound security policy.
Outbound Policy: Reject.
Outbound access is allowed to the following services: DHCP, DNS, IMAP, SMTP, POP3, HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, Telnet.

I set it to

Quote:

Typical Security (Recommended)
Inbound Policy: Reject.
Remote Administration settings will override the inbound security policy.
Outbound Policy: Accept.

and then tracepath showed much more info.
