a handy tool for DNS servers analysis. It can run on Windows, Mac and Linux OS!

NameBench is a program designed to help the user choose the highest DNS servers. After some analysis, it displays the fastest DNS on which the user can connect.

Key features

Analyzing: this program was developed to perform a series of tests to identify and display the most powerful DNS servers. Its investigation system uses various data, such as the browser history and results of the "tcpdump" command.
Benchmarking: after scans, NameBench is able to display the comparison result between the available DNS. The benchmarks are exposed as graphs and the most efficient services will be placed above others.
Optimization: NameBench allows the user to choose the best provided configuration following the performed analysis. A new configuration can be set to accelerate the connection to the web. This requires inserting data into the fields dedicated to it.
