Why should I check my DNS server regularly?
In order to stay safe on the Internet, you must verify that your computer's DNS requests are being completed by a trusted server.
Connecting to an untrusted DNS server poses serious security risks, such as identity theft and malware infections.
If you unknowingly use a DNS server operated by a hacker, it could redirect your browser to fake and dangerous websites.
Sadly, cybercriminals create malware that can hijack your computer's DNS requests and have them processed by rogue servers under their control. These are often referred to as DNS attacks.
To fully check that your DNS requests are being completed by a trusted DNS server, please use our tool to run a DNS server check before visiting and/or logging into a website.
Our DNS server check tool does not simply look up the settings of your device or router. Instead, it uses advanced technology to determine which DNS server is actually being used.
