How to Perform a Traceroute Test Proxy for Troubleshooting Network Issues? or Why Is My Traceroute Te

"Why Is My Traceroute Test Proxy Showing Unexpected Hops?"

Hey folks,

So I ran a traceroute test proxy to check some network lag, but the results are weird af. There are like 3 extra hops I’ve never seen before?

Is this normal or is something fishy going on?

I thought a traceroute test proxy would just show the usual path, but now I’m seeing random IPs. Could it be a misconfigured proxy or maybe some kinda routing loop?

Anyone else run into this? Tips appreciated!

(Also, if you know a better way to use a traceroute test proxy for this, lmk. Maybe I’m doing it wrong lol.)

Thanks!
