A global DNS propagation checker for your terminal.
Script Preview
Review this script before executing in your terminal.
dnsglobe is a TUI tool for checking global DNS propagation.
It queries 34 public DNS resolvers in parallel, compares their answers, groups matching records, and flags resolvers that disagree. It supports many record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, and SOA records, with watch mode that keeps checking until the propagation is complete. It tells you the resolver time (in ms), the location of the DNS server, and the name server(s) with the majority answer that all agree on the status of the domain.
Several other features include a world map of each of the listed DNS resolvers that visualize where they are around the world. It also optionally supports CLI-only output, shows anycast location hints for major public DNS networks and shows the expiry of the DNS resolver's cache.
dnsglobe is useful for domain owners, sysadmins, DevOps engineers and network engineers checking DNS changes. It is an alternative to browser propagation checkers when you need DNS checks in the terminal, over SSH, in scripts, or using your own DNS resolvers.
