TOOL

DNS Lookup

Query any record type for a domain. This is the one tool here that contacts an external resolver.

This tool sends the domain you enter to Cloudflare's public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver (1.1.1.1) to answer the query. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to that request.

How to use it

Enter a domain and choose a record type, then look it up. For a reverse lookup, enter an IP address and choose PTR. Results show the record data and TTL.

The one tool that leaves your browser

Every other tool on BlackhawkHub runs entirely on your device. A DNS lookup cannot: it has to ask a resolver. This tool sends your query over HTTPS to Cloudflare's public resolver at 1.1.1.1, and Cloudflare's privacy policy governs that request. Nothing is sent to BlackhawkHub.

The DNS record explains record types and resolution; DNS propagation explains why a freshly changed record may not appear everywhere yet. The command-line equivalents are nslookup and Resolve-DnsName.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool send my query somewhere?

Yes. Unlike the other tools here, DNS lookup must ask a resolver. It sends the domain and record type to Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS service at 1.1.1.1. That is the only external request; no data goes to BlackhawkHub.

How do I do a reverse DNS lookup?

Enter an IP address and choose PTR; the tool forms the reverse query and returns the PTR record if one exists.
