IP Trackers shows you the actual path your packets take across the internet. Enter any host or IP, run a trace, and watch each hop appear — then see the whole route drawn on a world map. TRACE ANY HOST • Fast ICMP traceroute to any host name or IP address • Every hop with its round-trip time, reverse DNS name and IP • Timeout hops are marked so you can spot filtering routers at a glance • TCP fallback: destinations that drop ICMP (many large portals and CDNs) are still confirmed via a TCP handshake, so traces complete instead of timing out • Stop a long trace at any time SEE THE ROUTE ON A MAP • Public hops are geolocated (city, region, country, ISP) and plotted on a world map • The route is drawn hop-to-hop so you can see where your traffic actually travels • Select a hop in the list to highlight it on the map DIG INTO ANY HOP • Per-hop detail: TTL, IP, reverse DNS, round-trip time and location • On-demand WHOIS lookup of the hop's registrant — organization, net name, net range, country • Full raw WHOIS text one tap away, ready to share TRACE HISTORY • Every completed trace is saved automatically • Reopen any past trace from the bookmark button — hops, locations and map restore instantly, no re-trace needed MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES • iPhone: a map-first layout — full-screen route map, floating search bar, and the hop list in a draggable bottom sheet • iPad and Mac: hop list and map side by side • Fast, lightweight, and entirely on-device — no account, no sign-up PRIVACY IP Trackers has no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs. Hop coordinates come from a public IP-geolocation service; WHOIS lookups go directly to the regional registries. Nothing about you is collected or stored.
