HostLookup

HostLookup is a native Android DNS explorer powered by mhost.

Query 25 DNS record types, compare responses from predefined public resolvers,
and inspect individual records. Explore WHOIS, network prefixes, autonomous
system numbers, and location information for discovered IP addresses, including
nameserver and mail-server addresses.

The app uses a Material 3 interface with dynamic color on Android 12 and newer.
Android 8.0 or newer is required.

DNS queries are sent to mhost's predefined public DNS resolvers over UDP, TCP,
DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-HTTPS. UDP and TCP queries are unencrypted. Nameserver and mail-server address enrichment also uses the device's
configured DNS resolver. Network and location information is requested from
RIPEstat over HTTPS. Providers can see requests and your public IP address.
The public resolver list and RIPEstat service cannot be replaced in settings.

No ads, analytics SDKs, account, or HostLookup-operated server are used.
