What This Tool Checks

The DNS overview tool collects the most useful public DNS records for a hub hostname in one place. It shows how the hublist server sees addresses, aliases, authoritative DNS, and informational records.

When To Use It

Use it before submitting a hub, after changing hosts, when adding IPv6, or when a CNAME chain is confusing client connections.

Why It Helps Hub Owners

Hub owners need DNS clarity because a public hublist entry is only useful when DC++ clients can resolve the same hostname reliably.

What To Check

  • A and AAAA records point clients to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
  • NS and SOA records show the authoritative DNS setup.
  • TXT records are usually informational and do not make a hub reachable by themselves.

Hub DNS Overview Tool

Review the main public DNS records for a hub hostname in one safe overview.

Enter a public hostname, IP address, or hub-style address such as dchub://example.com:411.

Check reverse DNS PTR hostnames for public IP addresses used by Direct Connect and DC++ hubs.

 Hub TCP Connect Tool

Test whether a specific public Direct Connect TCP port accepts connections from the hublist server for NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, and ADCS hubs.

 DC++ Active Mode Check

Check whether your DC++ client listening port appears reachable from the public internet for active mode.
