DNS Lookup
Query DNS records
DNS Lookup: Query DNS records. A free browser-based tool from DevToolbox, with no account and no tracking. It is one of the seven that has to use the network: it sends the domain name you look up to dns.google, Google Public DNS over HTTPS.
About the DNS Lookup
Free online DNS lookup tool. Look up DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA) for any domain. It is one of the seven DevToolbox tools that has to use the network to do its job. The rest compute entirely in your browser.
Unlike most of the site, this tool cannot answer without asking something else: it sends the domain name you look up to dns.google, Google Public DNS over HTTPS. The request goes straight from your machine. DevToolbox has no server in the path and keeps no copy.

Questions
- Does this one send anything over the network?
- Yes, and it has to. DNS Lookup cannot answer without making a request, so it sends the domain name you look up to dns.google, Google Public DNS over HTTPS. Nothing else about your session goes with it, and no copy is kept here, because DevToolbox still has no backend.
- Is it free, and do I need an account?
- It is free and there is no account, no sign-in and no usage limit. There is nothing to register because there is no server keeping track of anything.
