Hopings

Hopings is an open-source visual traceroute tool. It performs ICMP traceroute and presents the result as a clear hop-by-hop path with latency visualization and country flags.

Advantages

• Clear visual path — Hopings presents traceroute results as a clean, readable hop-by-hop path. Latency, countries, and unreachable hops are immediately visible without digging into raw output.
• Honest ICMP traceroute — Uses classic ICMP traceroute without shortcuts or synthetic assumptions. What you see is exactly what the network returns — no hidden logic, no guessing.
• Latency at a glance — Round-trip times are visually categorized, making long-distance jumps and slow segments easy to spot instantly.
• Country-aware routing — Each hop is enriched with country information and flags, helping you understand geographic routing decisions and cross-border transitions.
• Readable handling of missing replies — Filtered or rate-limited hops are shown explicitly, without misleading placeholders or fake timings.
• Single executable — Distributed as a single standalone executable. No installers, no runtime dependencies, no configuration files.
• Fast and lightweight — Starts instantly and runs without background services, telemetry, or unnecessary overhead.
• Focused by design — Hopings does one thing — traceroute — and does it well. No maps, no animations, no clutter.
• Open source and transparent — Fully open-source. Easy to inspect, learn from, and extend. Built with correctness and clarity as first principles.
