Reliable online dns prop checker https://www.propagationdns.com/
Hi there! I want to share this online tool https://www.propagationdns.com/
It is quite accurate at the moment.
Lot's of dns prop checkers seem to be abandoned and/or have faulty locations.
Thanked by 1angelius

I use > https://dnschecker.org/ works quite well for me
https://intodns.com/
Disclaimer: No chills, even if they sponsor NanoKVM
Off-topic: intodns is no propagation checker (and suboptimal when compared to e.g. Zonemaster)
Nice ad placement tho ^^
Yea I noticed, I think I keep using the Master for the future.
There is a magic link

on https://www.propagationdns.com/ where you can select regions and even the place with Putin has plenty of monitors
https://dnschecker.org is nice!
Great addition to my fav https://dnstools.ws/ btw
beyond campaign = propagates
These things are wildly misunderstood and often just lead to more confusion. The only way they can assist you in testing “propagation” is if you run the check before and after the changes so that your local and remote “propagation tester” caches are sitting at roughly the same interval relative to the TTL.
Else, if you test at just the right time after your change with DNS servers that haven’t recently cached your records, you get:
“It shows my update as having g propagated, so why isn’t my home computer seeing it? Time to ticket my hosting company it must be their fault!”
Because for all the people who reference “DNS propagation” one in a million seem to actually understand what’s happening.

(Or plan ahead and step your TTL down to 1 minute during the changeover and the walk it back up to your favorite long term TTL.)
Yep. CF and Vultr both have 120s minimum TTL. Cloudns 60s or 30s by ticket.
No one mention https://www.whatsmydns.net/ ?
