Traceroute question
-
Howdy folks - After having some issues with my pfSense install, I rebuilt to a new VM and all is well. One thing I've noticed, even on the old build - my trace routes seem to complete right to the destination on windows On a linux box the trace seems normal. Is there a setting somewhere I missed? IE a trace to google:
1 2 ms 4 ms 4 ms vl267.local [10.26.7.1]
2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms fw1a.local [10.144.1.1]
3 14 ms 14 ms 3 ms google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8]

Traceroute in Windows uses ICMP by default but in Linux it uses UDP. Try forcing ICMP in Linux and see if you see the same then.

Yep - same thing when forcing ICMP.

Hmm. Curious. Can you force UDP in Windows? Not sure I've ever tried....
