This app can roughly find the geographical path your packets are going from your device to the host.

I sometimes use it for a laugh comparing the routes taken by Airtel and BSNL.
BSNL send my request for broadbandforum.co from Kerala > Bangalore > New Delhi > back to a different router in bangalore > back to new delhi > Telengana > back to New Delhi > finally to singapore and that quickly took it to Canada to a Cloudflare server. The final destination could'nt be right, because Cloudflare could be anywhere with their anycast things. Still BSNL's internal routing was fun. Even went back and forth through Airtel.
Airtel though, since they're peering with Cloudflare, immediately went to Cloudflare canada and found the website.
It's a fun underrated app.
