DNS Hop v1.0.0 - Fast DNS, Zero Paywall
DNS Hop v1.0.0
Fast DNS benchmarking and switching without the paywall.
DNS Hop is a lightweight desktop tool to benchmark DNS endpoints, compare resolver reliability, and switch to better-performing servers quickly.
Why I built this
I made DNS Hop because tools for a very simple task were being sold for around $10 when the core workflow should be transparent, fast, and accessible to everyone.
You should be able to:
- benchmark DNS quality clearly,
- see speed and reliability data in one place,
- and switch with confidence,
without paying for basic functionality.
Highlights
- Modern DNS benchmark dashboard
- Cached / uncached / dotcom probe timing
- DNSSEC and hijack checks
- Resolver comparison in nameserver and tabular views
- One-click export and practical recommendations
