Internet diagnostic tools

A practical console for checking DNS answers, browser speed, and the public IP your traffic is using.

DNS lookup

Run a global DNS lookup

One query fans out across every configured region.

Tools

Pick the next check

Use the live diagnostics first. Planned command-style tools stay visible as the roadmap fills in.

Live DNS Lookup Check a name, record type, and resolver from every configured region.
Planned Dig A focused command-style lookup for one resolver and one answer path.
Planned Global Dig A command-style regional comparison for propagation and split-horizon checks.
Live Speed Test Measure latency, download, and upload from this browser to the edge. Live My IP Confirm the public address the internet sees from this browser.

Short explanations that make each result easier to interpret in the moment.

DNS

Why answers differ by region

Resolvers, caches, geolocation, and authoritative routing can all make two regions see different records.

Connectivity

When speed and DNS disagree

A fast edge test with failing DNS points to naming or resolver behavior, not raw throughput.

Identity

What your public IP reveals

VPNs, carrier NAT, office gateways, and cloud workspaces can change the address services see.
