![]() ![]() You should now be able to use the tracert command and understand its output. An IP address identifies any given device on a network. Here’s the point: Anyone can find out where you are. To find your local IP address on a Windows 10 PC, click the network icon on your taskbar, then select 'Properties.' Your local IP address will be displayed next to 'IPv4 Address.' You can also run 'ipconfig' in Command Prompt or PowerShell to view your local IP address. But you’ll never know if it does happen one percent of time, five percent, or more.

It’s likely that 99 of the time no one (and no websites) are running your IP address through an IP lookup site to see where you’re located. This unique identifier is your IP address and it is automatically assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Domain Name : The domain name, if available, can often help you see the location of a router.If you see a * in some columns, you didn’t receive a response – which could indicate packet loss. ![]() Traceroute sends three packets to each hop and displays each time, so you have some idea of how consistent (or inconsistent) the latency is. This is often referred to as latency, and is the same number you see when using ping. RTT1, RTT2, RTT3: This is the round-trip time that it takes for a packet to get to a hop and back to your computer (in milliseconds).Hop: Whenever a packet is passed between a router, this is referred to as a “hop.” For example, in the output above, we can see that it takes 14 hops to reach How-To Geek’s servers from my current location.The first line represents your home router (assuming you’re behind a router), the next lines represent your ISP, and each line further down represents a router that’s further away. ![]()
