DNS Lookup (A, AAAA, MX, TXT)

How to use DNS Lookup (A, AAAA, MX, TXT)

Enter a DNS name without a URL. Choose A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS or CNAME; ALL queries A, AAAA, MX and TXT. Run the lookup and review Google Public DNS answers. NOERROR with no answers differs from NXDOMAIN. DNSSEC authentication is reported by the resolver, not independently validated here.

Is this tool free?

You can complete three tools as a guest across this collection. Continue with Google for further use. Failed operations do not consume a successful use.

Where is my content processed?

Queries are sent from our server to Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, RDAP.org/registries, MACLookup or RIPEstat depending on the selected tool. Reports are cached for the duration stated in the workspace. Local/group MAC bit analysis does not send an external query. Usage analytics do not contain entered lookup values.

What does the result mean?

Results describe what the named providers reported at the shown time. Coverage, caching, redaction and resolver vantage points limit the conclusions. Review the tool-specific notes beside each result.

Can I use DNS Lookup (A, AAAA, MX, TXT) without signing up?
