VisTracer runs traceroute from your machine and enriches every hop with geolocation, ASN data, and registry metadata.
Watch your traceroute hops light up on an interactive Three.js globe with great-circle arcs, real-time day/night cycle, and country borders.
Hop data appears in the UI as it is parsed from the native traceroute process. No waiting for the full run to finish.
Local MaxMind GeoLite2 databases provide city, country, and ASN context for every hop, with persistent caching.
Cross-check with Team Cymru, RDAP, RIPE Stat, and PeeringDB to fill metadata gaps and validate GeoIP output.
Capture still images (PNG/JPG/WebP) or animated routes (WebM/GIF) with per-hop tooltips showing ASN and location.
Native Electron app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Supports ICMP, UDP, and TCP protocols with full IPv4 and IPv6.
Watch hops resolve in real time as the traceroute runs. The globe animates to each new hop.
Free and open source. Pre-built binaries for every major platform.
Free and open source. Also available as Linux .deb on the releases page.
