Opentrace is a network diagnostic utility designed to analyze and map network paths. It combines real-time traceroute data with geographic IP resolution to provide a visual traceroute tool for detecting routing issues and network bottlenecks.
The project features interactive path visualization and geographic route mapping, transforming raw hop-by-hop data into spatial maps. It includes privacy-focused identity masking to hide initial network hops and supports custom DNS resolution, including DNS-over-HTTPS, and local IP database imports for geographic mapping without relying on remote API services.
The utility covers a broad range of network analysis capabilities, including continuous latency monitoring, packet loss tracking, and path stability analysis. It also provides a command-line interface to trigger diagnostic traces for integration with automated scripts and external workflows.
