About DNScope

    A free, no-signup DNS intelligence platform that runs entirely in your browser — built by Circlelink because everyone deserves professional DNS tools without the paywall.

    Why we built it

    Most existing DNS tools online are either paid, ad-heavy, or hide the interesting features behind a "contact sales" wall. Meanwhile the primitives DNScope depends on — DNS-over-HTTPS, RDAP, Certificate Transparency, Shodan InternetDB, public geolocation APIs — are all open, free and easy to combine directly in a browser.

    So we built 20+ tools around them in one clean interface: DNS lookups, subdomain discovery, WHOIS, port exposure, email authentication auditing, DNSSEC, propagation, geolocation, typosquatting, blacklist checking, and more. No signup, no API keys, no ads.

    How it works

    DNScope is a static single-page application. Every tool runs in your browser and calls public APIs directly. There is no DNScope backend server that could log your queries, rate-limit you, or become a bottleneck. When you type a domain into the DNS Lookup, your browser talks straight to Google's public DoH resolver.

    For SEO, the static build step also prerenders every route with Puppeteer so search engines and social-media crawlers see real HTML content, not a JavaScript shell.

    Public APIs we call

    DNScope stands on the shoulders of several excellent open services. If you use DNScope commercially, consider supporting the ones that have paid tiers (Shodan) or sponsor programs (Cloudflare, Quad9):

    Google Public DNS
    DNS-over-HTTPS resolver (dns.google)
    Cloudflare DNS
    DoH + propagation checks
    rdap.org
    WHOIS / RDAP gateway
    crt.sh
    Certificate Transparency logs
    Shodan InternetDB
    Passive port / CVE data
    ipwho.is
    IP geolocation + ASN
    ipify
    Own-IP detection (IPv4 and IPv6)
    StevenBlack hosts
    Ad / tracker blocklist
