About iPGaze

Whether you need to look up a domain's DNS records, check a WHOIS registration, inspect an SSL certificate, trace a network path, verify your email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), or decode a JWT, iPGaze aims to do it quickly and cleanly. The goal is a single, fast, no-friction home for the checks that engineers, sysadmins and site owners reach for every day.

The tools fall into two groups. Server-side tools — DNS, WHOIS, SSL, ping, traceroute, port checks and the like — run on our own server infrastructure and perform the lookup on your behalf, then return the result. This is why they work even from a locked-down network or a device that can't reach the target directly.

Client-side tools — Base64, JSON and JWT decoding, hashing, regex testing and the other developer utilities — run entirely in your browser. The data you paste into them never leaves your machine, which makes them safe for sensitive input.

iPGaze requires no sign-up and no account to use any tool. Client-side tools process everything locally in your browser. For server-side lookups we only handle the value you submit (a domain, host or IP) for as long as it takes to run the check. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Some tools perform active network operations — ping, traceroute and port checks reach out to a target host. Please use these only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. They are intended for diagnostics, not for probing networks you don't control.

iPGaze is operated by Middlesurf Inc. Have a question, a bug report, or a tool you'd like us to add? We'd genuinely like to hear it — reach us through the contact page. If you want to learn the concepts behind the tools, our guides explain DNS, email authentication, SSL and network troubleshooting in plain language.
