To perform a traceroute check on different operating systems:

Windows:

1. Open Start menu
2. Click Run
3. Type cmd and press enter
4. In the command prompt type tracert domain.com and press enter

This will provide traceroute results from your computer to domain.com. You can also use tracert with an IP, i.e. tracert 1.2.3.4

Linux:

Open a terminal window and type traceroute -I domain.com. The -I option is necessary so that the traceroute uses ICMP. You can also use traceroute with an IP, i.e. traceroute -I 1.2.3.4

Mac OS:

Mac OS is a UNIX-based operating system such as Linux. This means that you can perform a traceroute check exactly as in Linux - traceroute -I domain.com executed in a terminal window.
