About udns

Last updated: April 2026

udns.io is a fast, privacy-friendly set of DNS and web diagnostic tools, built for developers, system administrators, and technically curious users who want clear answers without unnecessary tracking or clutter.

Why udns exists

Many online DNS and network tools are overloaded with ads, require accounts, or aggressively log user activity. udns was created to be:

  • Fast and simple to use
  • Technically accurate and transparent
  • Respectful of user privacy
  • Useful without forcing heavy client-side frameworks

What udns provides

  • DNS record lookups (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, PTR)
  • Resolver comparison to help spot caching or propagation issues
  • WHOIS lookups for domains and IP addresses
  • HTTP and TLS inspection tools
  • Reverse IP (PTR) lookup utilities

Tools are added gradually, with a focus on correctness, clarity, and long-term maintainability.

Privacy approach

udns does not require accounts and does not embed third-party analytics scripts. Requests are logged only to the extent necessary to operate the service safely (for example, rate limiting and abuse prevention).

udns does not sell user data. For full details, see the Privacy Policy.

Accuracy and limitations

DNS and network information can change rapidly. While udns aims to provide accurate and up-to-date results, outputs should always be verified when making critical decisions.

All tools are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind.
