Does this show the DNS on my computer?

No. The query leaves the WeProxy server and asks 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. It does not read the resolver cache on your operating system, and it does not prove your browser is free of a DNS leak. For WebRTC and header checks, follow the DNS leak guide. This page only reads the public records published for the domain you submit.

How do I check a proxy gateway hostname?

Type the gateway hostname and read the A record. The address should match the proxy server shown in your panel. If you see a CNAME, follow it and read the A record at the end of the chain. No record means the client cannot connect and will usually time out. After a DNS change, the old address can linger until TTL expires, so read that column too.

Where do MX and TXT meet a proxy setup?

MX shows the mail host for the domain, which helps you confirm that a purchase or verification message can be delivered. A TXT row may hold SPF or a provider verification token. This tool does not send mail. It only reads the published record. An empty type is labeled as no record. That is not an outage. It means that type is not published.

Why are some types empty and others filled?

Each record type is queried on its own. ENODATA and ENOTFOUND count as an empty result and do not fail the page. A domain can have an A record and no CAA record. The lookup fails only when every selected type hits a real resolver error. One empty row does not cancel the others. Read the tables one type at a time.

Can I query an IDN or a very long name?

Yes. International names are converted to ASCII before the query. The name can be at most 253 characters and must contain at least one dot. A bare IP, localhost and names ending in .local return invalid_host. That limit stops the tool from sending DNS queries at your internal network or your own machine. Use a public domain name.

Read the DNS Records for a Domain

Query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA from the WeProxy server through 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. The result is not your computer’s DNS cache.

If a proxy gateway hostname resolves to the wrong address, the client connects to the wrong host. This tool asks public resolvers for the types you pick and says when a type has no record.

Why this tool?

Why DNS Lookup?

DNS Lookup shows which IP a proxy hostname uses, plus MX and TXT, on one screen. It does not measure a browser DNS leak. Use the DNS leak guide for that check.

01Lists A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA records
02An empty type is not treated as a failure
03Shows TTL on A and AAAA rows when the resolver returns it
04Confirms the IP a proxy gateway hostname resolves to

How it works

Step-by-step process

Enter a Domain

Type a name that contains a dot. IP addresses and localhost are rejected.

Pick Record Types

Select the types you need. With no selection the default list, including A, MX and TXT, is queried.

Copy the Result

Each type is its own table. Copy places the JSON on your clipboard.

Tips

Before connecting, compare the gateway A record with the server address in the panel.
A high TTL means a DNS change will not show up everywhere at once.
An empty TXT row can mean the verification record is not published yet.
