How to use DNS Lookup

  1. 1

    Enter the target domain name (e.g., google.com or github.com).

  2. 2

    Select the DNS record type to query (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, or CNAME).

  3. 3

    Click Lookup DNS to query Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS (DoH) API.

  4. 4

    Review returned records, TTL values, and IP addresses.

Capabilities

  • Queries real-time DNS records via secure Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS API
  • Supports A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and CNAME record types
  • Displays authoritative record TTL (Time To Live) and routing destinations
  • Bypasses local OS DNS caching to inspect live propagation

Real-Time Domain DNS Record Inspection via DNS over HTTPS

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable domain names into numerical IP addresses and directs internet traffic to mail servers, CDNs, and verification services. When configuring custom domains, SSL certificates, or email security policies, verifying that DNS records have propagated correctly is crucial.

WebTorq's DNS Lookup queries Cloudflare's global DNS over HTTPS (DoH) infrastructure. It fetches real-time authoritative records for any public domain without relying on local operating system DNS cache tables.

Supported DNS Record Types

A & AAAA Records

Resolve IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) host addresses pointing traffic to web servers, load balancers, or CDN endpoints.

MX Records

Inspect mail exchange host priority ratings and routing destinations for business email systems like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

TXT & CNAME Records

Verify canonical domain aliases (CNAME) and inspect SPF, DKIM, and site ownership validation tokens (TXT).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does WebTorq query DNS records?

WebTorq sends queries to Cloudflare public DNS over HTTPS (DoH) API endpoints (cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query), returning real-time DNS response records in JSON format.

Which DNS record types can I inspect?

You can query common record types including A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), MX (Mail Exchange), TXT (Text / SPF / verification records), and CNAME (Canonical Name aliases).

Why use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) instead of standard DNS?

DNS over HTTPS encrypts DNS requests over standard HTTPS (port 443), preventing ISP interception, eavesdropping, and man-in-the-middle record manipulation.

Does this tool show TTL (Time to Live) values?

Yes. Each returned DNS record displays its TTL value in seconds alongside the record type and resolved target IP or hostname.

Can this tool diagnose email deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)?

Yes. By querying TXT records for your domain, you can inspect SPF policies (v=spf1), DKIM keys, and DMARC enforcement records directly.
