Does this include DNSSEC records?

Yes, DS, DNSKEY, and RRSIG records are included alongside standard record types.

Is this a live DNS lookup tool?

No, it's a static offline reference — it doesn't query real DNS servers.

Can I search by keyword?

Yes, search by record type, name, or description.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
