DNS Record Lookup
Look up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, SRV or CAA records for any public name — with a clear disclosure: this one queries through our server, because browsers can't speak DNS.
⚠ not fully client-side — this tool sends your input through our server (disclosed on this page)⚠ This is one of the few tools on this site that is not client-side: the name and record type you enter are sent to our server, which asks Cloudflare's public resolver (1.1.1.1) and returns the answer. Your browser never contacts a third party, the query is not stored, and requests are rate-limited.
Frequently asked
What exactly leaves my browser?
The name and record type you enter, sent to our server. The server asks Cloudflare's public resolver (1.1.1.1) and relays the answer. We don't store the query — only an in-memory rate-limit counter per IP.
Why not query DNS directly from my browser?
Browsers can't send raw DNS. The alternative — DNS-over-HTTPS from your browser straight to Cloudflare or Google — would hand the third party your IP address along with the query. Routing it through our server keeps your IP out of it.
Why do results differ from what my machine resolves?
You're seeing the public-resolver view. Corporate split-horizon DNS, privatelink zones and hosts-file entries only exist inside your network.
