🚀 Fast DNS Finder · Benchmark and Reveal the Best DNS in Seconds

Usage

DNS Test is a shell script that requires curl or wget; on macOS/Linux it may prompt once for sudo to install Homebrew during the initial neofetch setup before continuing automatically.

Launch Command macOS and Linux

Stable (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/F3aarLeSS/DNSTest/main/macOS_Linux.command | bash

Launch Command Windows

Stable (recommended)

wt pwsh -NoProfile -Command "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/F3aarLeSS/DNSTest/refs/heads/main/windows.ps1 | iex"

Notes

  • Use -fsSL so curl fails fast on HTTP errors, stays quiet, and follows redirects when hitting Raw GitHub links.
  • Pin to a tag like v1.0.0 for reproducible runs and to avoid changes from main impacting automation.

What You Get

  • System info via neofetch; if missing, the script can interactively install Homebrew and then install neofetch before proceeding.
  • Smooth progress bars while pinging primary and secondary IPv4 endpoints for multiple DNS providers.
  • Cross‑platform parsing of ping summaries: Linux “rtt min/avg/max …” and macOS “round‑trip min/avg/max …” for accurate averages.
  • A final Top 3 with large centered banners showing Provider, IP, and average latency for quick selection.

Troubleshooting

  • If a Raw link shows code instead of running, fetch it with curl/wget and pipe to bash or download then execute; avoid the blob URL.
  • If Homebrew install is blocked, run the official installer once and then re‑run the script; shellenv exports PATH for immediate use.
  • For fully non‑interactive runs, preinstall Homebrew and neofetch, then use the stable one‑liner above.
