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
