GeoTraceroute is a community-driven network of measurement probes spread across the globe.
Since 2017, over 350 probes have joined our network, allowing us to run traceroutes and latency measurements from real locations, on real networks.
Our goal is to give users an accurate picture of how the internet actually routes traffic.
Once added, our system will connect to your server via SSH when a user select your probe and run two commands: mtr and ping. That’s it. On average, expect a maximum of 100 traceroutes per day. This is a very lightweight load. We do not store any data on your server, we do not write to disk, and we do not use your server for anything else. The SSH key used is dedicated to GeoTraceroute and do not need elevated privileges.
mtr and ping installed.Your probe appears on the probes list with its city and company name, visible to every user who runs a traceroute through it. You’re contributing to an open, transparent view of internet routing that’s used by network engineers, researchers, and curious minds worldwide.
