Is there anyone knows how to 'traceroute' over proxies? #149

Hello.

Currently I'm trying to traceroute over the proxy which supports SOCKS(4, 5) and HTTP protocol.

However it doesn't seem to work properly... Here is how I tried: sudo proxychains traceroute --tcp www.google.com sudo proxychains traceroute --udp www.google.com sudo proxychains traceroute www.google.com

And how I configured(/etc/proxychains.conf): ... socks5 {IP} {PORT} {USERNAME} {PASSWORD} I also tried using socks4 and http too.

Is there anyone knows how to do traceroute in such cases?

You can't. Traceroute is based on the fact that you send the IP packets with low TTL and increase it gradually. No proxy protocol support manipulation of TTL field.

Ohh... I didn't know about it at all. Then the only way to traceroute remotly is using VPN services, rather than proxies?

Yes.
