Super DNS Proxy
A local DNS proxy for Windows and Linux. It asks every resolver you list for an answer at the same time, keeps the fastest one, and re-sends the queries Windows would rather give up on.
Point Windows DNS at 127.0.0.1 and pick the upstream resolvers in the app.

Windows
- 1Extract the downloaded ZIP to any folder — desktop, USB stick, wherever. There is no installer; the app runs from that folder.
- 2Right-click the
.exefile, select Properties, tick Unblock at the bottom of the General tab, then Apply. Windows blocks files downloaded from the internet until you do this. - 3Double-click the application to launch it. If Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" warning, click More info and then Run anyway.
- 4Set your Windows DNS server to 127.0.0.1, then add the upstream DNS IP addresses you want to use inside the app.
Linux
This build has not been tested yet.
- 1Extract the downloaded ZIP to any directory. There is no installer.
- 2Run the included
run.shscript withbash run.sh, which sets permissions and launches the app for you. - 3Or run it manually with
chmod +x your-app-namefollowed by./your-app-name.
What it does
Fastest answer wins
Enter as many DNS IP addresses as you like. Every query goes to all of them at once and the quickest reply is the one returned.
Re-sends lost queries
Waits 500 ms for a reply (adjustable) then re-sends the query a set number of times, instead of waiting for Windows to decide it was lost.
Local DNS cache
Keeps recently resolved names on your own machine for instant repeat lookups. Off by default.
Live query log
Watch every lookup as it happens and see exactly what your machine is asking for.
Live TCP retransmission log
See when a TCP SYN had to be re-sent before a site answered. Available while the TCP 443 reachability check is off.
TCP 443 reachability check
Probes every address on port 443 before returning it, and answers 127.0.0.1 if nothing responds within 200 ms so the browser fails fast.
DNS over TCP sent as UDP
Chrome and Edge sometimes send DNS in the clear over TCP — the proxy turns those into UDP queries on the way out.
