Top 21 Apps Similar to DNS Lookup and Whois
Ping & DNS
(For an explanation of the GPS permission,seebelow.)Displays network information and diagnostics: Ping a server(viaICMP over IPv4 or IPv6 and TCP), DNS lookup (withgeographicallookup of IP addresses), reverse DNS lookup, WHOISqueries,inspecting HTTP response headers, trace routes (also withIPaddress geo lookup), check whether a range of ports is open, scanahost for SSL versions and ciphers, and look up the locationofhosts and whether it's reachable from the public internet. Italsoshows details of the current network setup and connection ofthedevice, including netstat information. "Wake on LAN"functionalityfor waking up machines. Optional "NetSentry" monitorsnetworkinterfaces and warns of breaching usage limits.Includes a home screen widget for long-running pings.Recently used hosts, IP addresses and DNS servers are rememberedforauto-completion.The results can be copied (via long-click on the output text),sentvia email or stored in a file as text or PDF. A history oftheresults of recent operations is kept (swipe left and righttoswitch between tabs).Numerous options (like using an alternative name server, PingTTL,showing ping times for each traceroute step, Broadcast Ping,usingHTTPS, setting the HTTP port number, selection of DNS recordtypesto query, etc.) are available through a long-click on the"Go"button.Contains no ads.Please join the Google community "Ping & DNS" where Isupportthis app, especially if you're having problems.WHY THE GPS PERMISSION? First off, GPS is only accessed if the"ShowLocation" checkbox is set in the Ping Options dialog. Thischeckboxis turned off by default, so unless you explicitly set it,you don'tneed to worry about your location ever being tracked.Trackinglocation is useful for measuring ping times duringlong-runningpings across large areas, like a factory or auniversity campus.Once a long-running ping with location is done,a Google Earth file(.dmz) is created that shows the ping timesalong with the geolocation of each ping. Most people will neverneed this option, soyou don't have to worry. And even if you douse it, location data isstored on the device, it is not sent oruploaded anywhere (theexception being if you attach the GoogleEarth file to an outgoingemail - in which case you're in charge ofwhere the email is sentto). So all the negative comments you maysee in the Play Store areunfounded.

Set DNS 2.1.3
SetDNS is the easiest way to force yourrootedphone to use custom nameservers on WiFi for all devicesAND3G/mobile networks on rooted devices. Works for both IPv4 andIPv6networks and nameservers.------PLEASE DON'T INSTALL ON ANDROID 4.3 FOR THE MOMENT, THEREAREPROBLEMS WITH THE WAY DNS HANDLING HAS BEEN CHANGED IN THEKERNEL.I'VE PULLED IT FROM THE MARKET FOR 4.3 DEVICES.------Preserves your custom nameserver information when usingbothwireless and 3g/edge mobile connection. WIFI Only withnon-rootedphones.Comes with google, opendns, opendns family shield,fooldnssettings, enter custom DNS servers and option to revert backtoDHCP.Includes widgets that will show the current DNS state and ifyouhave DNS Pro installed, will allow nameserver changes byclickingthe appropriate widget.In normal mode, this app doesn't change *any* systemfiles(unlike some DNS apps), so you don't need to back upyournameserver details. Just reverting back to DHCP will go backtoyour normal network settings.You can update the resolv.conf file within the preferences ifthenormal settings don't work. This will modify the contents oftheresolv.conf if it is writable, after taking a backup.OpenDNS Family Shield settings can be used to filter adultorinappropriate content on the phone.Using alternative nameservers like Google DNS or OpenDNScandramatically speed up your browsing. You can also bypass localDNSfilters such as Nawala.Set DNS also checks if your browsing goes via a proxyservicethat overrides your DNS settings. When network settingschange, itwill try to access a URL directly using the IP address.If thishits the right server then you have a direct connection tothenetwork. If not, then a proxy is intercepting the connection andisusing it's own nameserver information.Proxy testing is turned *off* by default. You can enable itinthe preferences.I've had some feedback about net.rmnet0.dns[12] not beingchanged(there's a comment here too). The app doesn't change thesesettingsby design. Changing net.dns[12] is sufficient to changethe DNSlookups on the device. However, if I get more requests forthermnet0 settings to be changed, I'll add in an option tooverride theinterface specific DNS as well. Just drop me anemail.====If you have any problems with this - please email me or leaveamessage on the google plus page (see the About option)beforerating on the market. Most problems are due to cached DNSornetwork proxies rather than the app itself.In particular, testing against sites such as opendns will failifgoing through a mobile carrier's proxy.====******If you find this app useful, please consider buying the Set DNSProapp which activates locking, control widgets andnon-rootedfunctionality.******Please note, entering the wrong nameserver details can breakyourinternet settings.=========NON-ROOT FUCTIONALITYIf you install this on a non-rooted phone, please understandthatsome people are reporting in the market that it breakstheirWiFi.Unfortunately these people report the problem in the marketyetdon't get in touch with us so there's no way to resolve it.
