External APIs

External reputation providers, their mode, health and privacy trade-offs.

Every provider on this page is simulated. This demo never contacts VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing or any other service, and no domain you type leaves your browser.

Reputation modes

How far DNS Daddy will go to consult a provider.

  • Off

    The provider is not consulted. Nothing about a query leaves the resolver.

  • Cache only

    DNS Daddy uses previously cached provider verdicts and never waits on the external service while answering a query.

  • Blocking

    DNS Daddy may briefly wait for the provider, up to a configured timeout budget, before answering.

A provider failure, timeout or open circuit breaker resolves to Unknown — never to malicious. Unknown never blocks a lookup on its own.

Verdicts

What a provider can say about a domain.

VerdictMeaning
BenignThe provider has no adverse information.
SuspiciousWeak adverse signal. Corroborate before acting.
MaliciousThe provider asserts the domain is harmful.
UnknownNo verdict available — including every timeout, error and open circuit breaker. Unknown never blocks.
