CountryTraceRoute

CountryTraceRoute is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you carry out traceroute operations in order to display the route (path) and measure the transit delay of packets sent over an IP.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to find the country for a given IP address on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

CountryTraceRoute boasts a clean layout that allows you to carry out most operations with minimal effort. You don’t need special computer skills to configure the dedicated parameters, as even rookies can master the entire process using a few clicks.

The program gives you the possibility to input the IP address into the primary panel, specify the number of queries to send per hop, and enter the time to wait for a response. On the downside, you are not allowed to specify the hop limit and port to use.

The gathered information is displayed in the primary panel, such as hop, IP address, hostname, country, average time, errors, as well as the time for all three sent packages.

What’s more, you can export data to CSV, HTML, XML, or plain text file format, copy the selected rows to the clipboard for pasting them into other third-party utilities, as well as choose the columns that are visible in the primary panel (e.g. IP address, hostname, country).

Last but not least, you can perform search operations, refresh the current information with just one click, use hotkeys for a better control over the entire process, resolve IP addresses, and show or hide the grid in the primary panel.

To sum things, CountryTraceRoute seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that comes bundled with a decent feature pack.
