Tracert

Hi, There’s no doubt about it, my net is bad. So i tried doing a tracert just for something to do lol. I don’t really know what i’m doing, but that doesn’t matter. So why i’m asking for help is, i’ve tracert these sites. Google, youtube and my own IP. Now each one is giving me 2 or 3 IP’s that concern me. When i put them in google this came up. DoD Network Information Center
Now should i be worried or not about it. I have asked others to try and so far they don’t get same as me. I understand different sites have different routes and same for each person. But why should me tracerting my own IP end up going to another country Can someone please try it for me and see if you’re getting odd IP’s every time you try tracing a site.
Answer #1
if you think people are really trying to get to your port so and so , open a dos prompt and enter ‘netstat -a’ to see all the current connections and listening ports on your machine.

Answer #2
Can that be done without admin rights, as i don’t have it.
Answer #3
“tracert” shows how your internet connection is routed to a particular address/site. Since everything ultimately run through govt. gateways, i think it is quite obvious. However, you can try VPN or similar service.
Answer #4
But are others getting same things though. It’s usually the 4th and 5th hop. I can’t risk messing with trying to find passwords. But thanks anyway.
Answer #5
on a quick notice :
if you run a tracert , like that :

C:\Users\x-ray>tracert google.com
Tracing route to google.com [173.194.112.228]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.0.1
  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  3    46 ms    49 ms    48 ms  172.30.13.49
  4    89 ms    76 ms    80 ms  172.30.13.249
  5    84 ms    86 ms    86 ms  ae1.FRA-M1.ip-bb.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [78.
42.40.17]
  6    84 ms    85 ms    87 ms  72.14.212.70
  7    78 ms    83 ms    86 ms  72.14.238.44
  8  ^C
C:\Users\x-ray>

it will show you the hops of a packet, once you are outside of your own network, you are out of control of the hops …. that would then be your ISP who then forwards the request to other Servers and so on … if you want top avoid the DoD Network Information Center, well, VPN is the key.

Answer #6
Switching your ISP will do.
Answer #7
try changing your DNS
the default is the DNS of your ISP
Answer #8
Can’t change ISP Can DNS be changed without admin rights? I understand that when it leaves network that there’s no control where the hops go, but i did tracert on my own IP address and it STILL went through DoD. That can’t be normal imo

OK i just did that.
But i don’t understand what i am meant to be looking for.
And don’t want to be putting up things i shouldn’t.
The only IP i can see can’t be traced for some reason.
