Traceroute and MTR on Windows

If you’re experiencing packet loss or a slow connection between your home internet and your VPS, we would appreciate if you could provide us with an MTR or TRACEROUTE report. This will give us a detailed view of the network path between your home connection and your VPS, highlighting where the packet loss might be occurring.

For Windows Users: Windows does not come with MTR by default, but you can run a TRACEROUTE easily.

1. TRACEROUTE:
   • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type cmd and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
   • In the Command Prompt window, type: tracert [Your VPS IP Address]
   • Wait for it to complete. This can take a few minutes.
   • Once complete, right-click inside the Command Prompt window, select Mark, then highlight the entire result, and press Enter to copy.
   • Paste the results in your reply to us.
2. MTR:
   • If you specifically want an MTR report, you would need a third-party tool like WinMTR.
   • Download WinMTR from here.
   • Install and open WinMTR.
   • In the “Host” box, type your VPS IP address.
   • Click “Start” and let it run for at least 5-10 minutes to gather sufficient data.
   • After it’s done, click on “Export TEXT” and save the report.
   • Attach the saved report in your reply to us.

Please share the results with us, and we’ll promptly investigate where the issue might lie and work towards a resolution.
