ipconfig
route PRINT
tracert 8.8.8.8

How to read a route table:
- Netmask 0.0.0.0 is least-specificity. 255.255.255.255 is highest specificity.
- Lower metric is higher priority.

(TODO: There’s probably a better way to phrase this. “Specificity” isn’t a very techically correct term, but it makes sense in my head.)
