DNS resolver test
See which resolver addresses four third-party test sources report for this browser. Each run takes one sample from each source.

Try againA limited view of your DNS path
The test triggers queries for random hostnames through the sources shown in the tool. A source may report one or more resolver addresses; ABPing shows the returned addresses with available location and network information.
Each source is sampled once per run. Results are limited to sixteen resolver addresses per source, and truncation is marked. This does not enumerate every resolver or DNS path your device may use.
Location alone does not establish a DNS leak
A resolver may belong to a provider or region different from your public IP. Database estimates, resolver infrastructure and your network configuration all matter when interpreting that difference.
An IPv4 or IPv6 label describes the returned resolver address. It does not establish which transport protocol your device used for its DNS query. A failed source remains unknown, not a clean result.
Compare samples after a configuration change
Run the test before and after changing your connection or DNS settings, then compare the same sources. The home tool can keep a baseline in the current tab and identify changed resolver sets after a new run.
Testing sends requests to third-party services, which may see your network exit. Resolver location is supplemented through ABPing using DB-IP Lite. Results apply to this sample and do not guarantee the privacy of every application on your device.
Common questions
Is this a complete DNS leak test?
No. It is a basic observation using four sources, each sampled once per run. It can reveal resolver addresses worth checking, but it cannot prove that all DNS traffic follows an intended route or rule out every leak.
Why does a resolver show a different country from my IP?
DNS services can use infrastructure in several regions, and IP location databases are estimates. Check the resolver provider and your intended DNS configuration; the country difference alone is not evidence of a leak.
