random.dnsp.co

A different answer every single time.

What it does

random.dnsp.co returns an address with no meaning at all. The value is irrelevant: only whether it changes tells you anything. Two identical answers back to back mean a cache is between you and us.

Example

$ dig @dnsp.co random.dnsp.co +short
88.14.203.6
$ dig @dnsp.co random.dnsp.co +short
12.240.9.171

Reading the answer

a different address each time

No cache in the path.

the same address twice

Something cached the answer despite its lifetime.

Notes

  • Use increment instead if you want a result you can reason about rather than just compare.
