NoTTL intercepts and prevents an application’s attempt to adjust the packet’s Time To Live or TTL. The TTL of a packet on the internet is how long a packet can live before it must reach it’s destination or simply be discarded.

The default TTL for packets on most operating systems is 60 (I think) and each time a packet passes though a router on the internet the TTL is subtracted by 1. Once a TTL reaches zero the packet is discarded. This is so that the internet doesn’t get filled with lost packets that never get anywhere.
