How to use TCP traceroute for network diagnostics

A TCP Traceroute helps identify where connection drops occur between your computer and the Hostaday server.

  • Why use it: Standard ICMP traceroutes are often blocked by firewalls. TCP traceroute uses port 80 or 443, which are usually open.
  • How to run: On Mac/Linux terminal, use sudo traceroute -T -p 80 yourdomain.com.
  • Result: This will show each "hop" the data takes, helping our support team diagnose latency or routing issues .
