I have some subdomains that go to my home address (I know I should put it through a VPS first but I'll get to that when I have time).

If I connect to example.domain.tld and DNS records point back to my own IP, where does that data go to reach back to my device?

Edit: thanks for the responses everyone

You can see every hop an IP packet takes at IP level with traceroute or mtr.
