About Dig Web Interface
Dig Web Interface runs dig queries from a browser. You enter hostnames or IP addresses, pick a record type from a long list including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CAA and DNSSEC records, and choose which nameservers to ask: public resolvers such as Cloudflare, Google and Quad9, the authoritative servers, or ones you specify.
Options include trace, short output, DNSSEC, comparing output between servers and showing the command. Queries are stored in the URL, so results and preferred settings can be shared or bookmarked. It suits administrators checking DNS changes without a terminal.
Strengths
- Queries several resolvers or authoritative servers at once
- Supports a wide range of record types and dig options
- Shareable URLs for queries and settings
- Keyboard shortcuts for options
Limitations
- Queries run from the site's servers, not your own network
- Plain interface aimed at people who already know dig
