The traceroute under ipv6 only displays the last hop

[simple9s]

Hi Valentine, thanks for the great library.I'm doing an experiment,and I had a small problem.
The traceroute under ipv6 only displays the last hop.

But my use of windwos tools is normal.

Thanks again and regards.

Hi @simple9s,

The behavior you are seeing on Windows is most likely related to your firewall. Can you try to temporarily deactivate it during the test and try again? There are other issues on this subject (#7, #8 and #10).

Thank you for your reply. This is really a firewall problem.

Oh! Reading this doc, I see that "traceroute" needs privileged execution for the TTL to work. Interestingly, here's what I've found:

• On Linux, setting privileged=False causes the undesirable behavior (only the last hop is recorded).
• On Windows, privileged is forced to False, so presumably may be the cause for only getting the last hop.
• On macOS, I am able to set privileged=False and get reasonable results back from a traceroute.

Thanks for your explanation, but windows is the firewall problem as the author said.
