Hi Nice tool, and I had to try that out immediately. How does this actually work differently than the DNSleaktest.com ? I do get different results on your website, although your results seem to be more in line with what I experience. I have some strange phenomenon on a WireGuard connection. I have a VPN connection (specifying the Pihole as the DNS) to a Pihole running Unbound. When using the VPN and connecting to DNSleaktest.com , I get the Pihole's external IP address as the sole resolver. When doing the test on your site, I get the same IP address as the first resolver, but also 6+ Google resolvers on 172.253.X.X plus some on IP6 addresses. I also noticed, that during the VPN connection, that I still get some ads showing, whereas they should actually be blocked by the Pihole. While I guess it's a WireGuard problem, it might help me troubleshoot by understanding your checks a bit better. More on reddit.com

What is a forward DNS lookup?
Forward DNS, also known as a forward DNS lookup, is one of the two different types of DNS lookup. This type follows the standard DNS query journey when you type in a URL or send an email and receive the related IP address in response to your request. This process allows an end client (your device) to translate a domain name or email address into the address of the device that would handle the server-side communication.

What is a reverse DNS lookup?
Reverse DNS, also known as a reverse DNS lookup, is the second type of DNS lookup. This lookup request is used to obtain the domain name related to an IP address. Reverse lookups are typically used by email servers to ensure the servers theyโ€™re receiving messages from are valid. To complete this process, the mail server must have a pointer (PTR) record established. This type of record informs other mail servers that its IP address is authoritative for sending and receiving mail for its related domain.

What is a query journey?
A query journey includes every step taken to translate the domain name youโ€™re trying to reach into an IP address. The journey begins when you enter a web address into your browser. The recursive server is the queryโ€™s first stop. From there, the recursor contacts a series of authoritative nameservers to gain the information it needs to translate the domain name into a language the computer can read. Finally, the IP address of the desired domain is returned. DNS records set the rules and lay down the paths the query will travel along. They store all the relevant information servers need to prop

When you visit a website, your computer, phone or tablet will first check your local DNS cache for the corresponding IP address. If your device has not recently looked up this website, then it will need to ask your configured DNS server which will forward the request on to the DNS server responsible for managing the records. This process is known as a DNS lookup request.
