NextTrace: An open source visual route tracking CLI tool
- DOGMATICA 2y agoCurious how the "NextTrace has been used for [number] times" banner works. Does it fire off a request to their site everytime it's used? (and if so, is it an over reaction to personally find that a little strange for a small-ish cli tool?)
- lijunhao 2y agoI understand your concern and have consulted with the author. When using the Nextrace API for IP geolocation, Nextrace performs Proof-of-Work (PoW) authentication first. Therefore, the website counts only these authentication requests. Consequently, the statistics do not include requests using other IP APIs.
- Lorin 2y agoSite not loading at all, `https://www.nxtrace.org/static/js/main.4678cf79.js https://www.nxtrace.org/static/js/main.4678cf79.js net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS` in DevTools console.

- bantunes 2y agoThis seems to be a Chrome app, since I can't get it to work on Firefox
- cassianoleal 2y agoI tried it in Chromium and it didn't work either. It did remind me to blat Chromium from my computer though, so thanks! :D
- bradknowles 2y agoI see nothing at all when I go to the page at https://www.nxtrace.org/ https://www.nxtrace.org/ Am I missing something?
- sliken 2y agoWorked yesterday.
- bradknowles 2y agoWell, it was down when I looked at it. It does seem to be back up now. Which leads me to the next question — how is this any different/better than `mtr`? I’m not seeing any benefit here, but maybe I’m missing something?
- lijunhao 2y agonexttrace provide the geolocation information of IP in the output. BTW, the author also enhance the nali project (nali-nt) to add geolocation information to mtr output. mtr -n4 tj.189.cn | ./nali-nt_linux_amd64 https://github.com/nxtrace/nali https://github.com/nxtrace/nali
- bradknowles 2y agoLast time I looked at `mtr`, I believe that geolocation was already available.
