NETSCOPE — local route diagnostics

1. Download netscope-route.py. Python 3.9 or later is required.
2. Open a terminal in the folder containing the file and run:
   macOS / Linux: python3 netscope-route.py example.com
   Windows: py netscope-route.py example.com
3. Replace example.com with your hostname or IP address.
4. After approximately 10–100 seconds, netscope-route-report.json appears next to the script.
5. In NETSCOPE, select Site / IP → Import route and open that JSON file.

Linux may require the traceroute package. The script does not install anything.
It uses system DNS, traceroute/tracert, ping and HTTPS HEAD.
It does not upload the report or run a background service.
Reports may contain private router addresses; imports are processed in your browser.

Important limitations
• The route starts at your computer and reflects the active network and VPN at collection time.
• A missing reply from an intermediate hop does NOT prove loss of forwarded traffic.
• High latency at one hop does NOT prove that the hop limits throughput.
• Traceroute does not measure the bandwidth of each link.
• End-to-end ICMP loss may reflect ICMP filtering by the destination.
• Unknown hops remain * / no reply; addresses are never invented.

The operating system's raw command output is preserved in its original language.
