Every address above was verified to answer queries when this page was built. Filtering, logging, and privacy policies differ per provider, so review each provider's own policy before switching. A dash in the IPv6 column means the provider does not publish an official IPv6 resolver.

Test a resolver

Point dig at any resolver to confirm it answers.

dig @1.1.1.1 robtex.com

Use Robtex's resolver echo through a chosen resolver to see how it reaches authoritative DNS, including its EDNS Client Subnet.

dig dnsip.robtex.com TXT @9.9.9.9

What to check next

Use What Is My DNS Resolver to detect the resolver your network uses right now, and What Is My IP for your public address. To inspect records served by a name, use DNS Lookup; to inspect an address, use IP Lookup.

FAQ

What is a public DNS resolver?
A public DNS resolver is a recursive DNS service anyone can use to look up domain names, run by a company or project instead of your ISP. Common reasons to switch are speed, privacy, content filtering, or reliability.
Which public DNS is fastest?
It depends on your location and network, because these are anycast services routed to the nearest site. Test a few from your own connection rather than assuming one is fastest everywhere.
Do these resolvers support IPv6?
Most do. The IPv6 column lists each provider's IPv6 addresses; a dash means the provider does not publish an official IPv6 resolver.
Are filtered resolvers on different addresses?
Often yes. Providers such as Cloudflare, AdGuard, and CleanBrowsing publish separate addresses for malware or adult-content filtering, listed as separate rows here.
