Is DNSLab free to use?

Yes. Every tool on DNSLab is free with no usage limits for normal interactive use. There's no premium tier that unlocks the real features and no credit card required. The site is supported by unobtrusive ads, which lets us keep the full 50+ tool set open to everyone, from hobbyists checking a personal domain to admins troubleshooting production mail.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is needed for the tools. Open any tool, run a query and read the result; anyone you share a result link with can open it without signing up either. You only need a free account for uptime monitoring and status pages, or to keep a history of your lookups.

Are the results live or cached?

Results are queried live the moment you submit. DNS lookups hit authoritative name servers, blacklist checks query the DNSBL zones directly, and WHOIS and ASN data come from the responsible registries. This matters because DNS caching and TTLs can hide recent changes — DNSLab shows you the current answer, not what some resolver cached hours ago.

Is my data or query history stored?

The result itself isn't stored: a shared link runs the lookup again. We keep a record of each lookup (the tool, what you looked up, the time and your IP address, plus your account if you're signed in) to run the service, prevent abuse and show your history. As Turkish Law No. 5651 requires, access logs are kept for two years. Analytics and advertising cookies are used only with your consent. The DNSLab privacy policy explains the details.

50+ diagnostic tools

Fast, clean DNS, email & network tools

MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, blacklist, DNSSEC, WHOIS and 50+ more — accurate lookups in one clean, modern toolbox.

Shareable result links

Unlike legacy tools, every result is an addressable URL you can bookmark and send.

Instant & live

No stale cache — every lookup is queried live from a worker fleet, so you always see the DNS that is actually published right now.

Secure architecture

An isolated worker fleet runs read-only lookups behind strict SSRF protection on every network probe.

A complete DNS & email diagnostics toolbox

DNSLab is a free, browser-based toolbox for diagnosing DNS, email deliverability, and network problems. It bundles more than 50 tools — MX, A, TXT and DNSSEC lookups, SPF/DKIM/DMARC validators, blacklist checks, WHOIS and ASN lookups — into one interface, so you don't have to juggle command-line utilities or a dozen scattered websites. Every query runs live against authoritative name servers and public data sources the moment you press enter, not from a stale cache. Each result gets its own permanent URL, so you can hand a failing SPF record or an open resolver to a colleague or hosting provider in one click. There's no signup, no paywall, and nothing to install.

DNS record lookups

Query any record type straight from the authoritative name servers: A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, NS, SOA, TXT, SRV, CAA and PTR. Verify DNSSEC signatures and the chain of trust, check name-server consistency, and catch misconfigurations like missing glue records or mismatched SOA serials before they cause an outage.

Email authentication & deliverability

Diagnose why mail lands in spam or bounces. DNSLab parses and validates your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, flagging syntax errors, too many DNS lookups in SPF, and weak DMARC policies. It also inspects MX records, reverse DNS (PTR) and SMTP banners so you can confirm receiving servers are reachable and correctly named.

Reputation & blacklist checks

Check an IP address or domain against dozens of major DNSBLs and reputation lists — Spamhaus, SpamCop, Barracuda and more — in a single pass. If a listing is dragging down your delivery, you'll see exactly which lists flagged you and the return codes, so you can request delisting from the right provider.

Network & WHOIS tools

Look up domain and IP WHOIS, registration and expiry dates, ASN ownership and routing prefixes. Run ping, traceroute, port and TCP connectivity tests, plus TLS and certificate checks to trace where a connection breaks. Handy for verifying a migration, tracking down a routing issue, or confirming a certificate chain is complete.
