What is a public DNS server & how it works

How recursive resolvers answer your lookups

A public DNS resolver is a recursive DNS server anyone can query. It looks up domain names on your behalf, following the chain from the root servers to each domain's authoritative nameservers, and caches the answers so repeat lookups are fast.

Resolvers in a particular country are useful for testing geo-targeted DNS and CDN routing, checking whether a domain is blocked or answered differently in a region, and finding a nearby alternative to your ISP's resolver. Open resolvers come and go, so always test one before relying on it.

Recursive resolver
Answers any query by walking the DNS hierarchy and caching the results.
ASN
The autonomous system number identifying the network that operates the server.
DNSSEC validation
The resolver checks signatures and refuses answers that fail them.

How to use this tool

Find and test a DNS server in four steps
1
Find a country
Search or scroll the directory and open the country you want resolvers for.
2
Review the servers
Compare IPs, operators, cities and DNSSEC support in the list.
3
Test a server
Use Test on a row to send a live query and confirm it responds.
4
Use it
Query it directly, e.g. dig @IP example.com, or set it as the resolver on a test machine.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about public DNS servers
5 Q&A

To see how a domain resolves for users there: geo-DNS, CDN steering and regional blocking all depend on where the query comes from. It is a quick way to debug “works here, not there” issues.

Many are open resolvers run by ISPs and organisations without any promise of uptime or privacy. For daily use, prefer a well-known provider such as Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Google (8.8.8.8) or Quad9 (9.9.9.9); use this directory for testing.

Run dig @203.0.113.53 example.com on Linux or macOS, or nslookup example.com 203.0.113.53 on Windows, replacing the IP with the server you want.

The resolver validates DNSSEC signatures, so it will reject forged or tampered answers for signed domains instead of passing them on.

Open resolvers are often closed, rate-limited or restricted to their own network after a list is compiled. Use the Test button to check before relying on one.
