Your current IP address, DNS resolver, and proxy sections give you your current ISP assigned IPv4 and IPv6 (if available) addresses, your Device ID (if using a premium resolver), and your latency to the closest Control D server.
Web Request Time shows how long your browser takes to make a web request to each listed provider. This can include DNS lookup, connection setup, TLS, and server processing, and may be affected by reused connections. It is not a pure network ping or a measurement of Control D DNS performance.
UDP / STUN checks whether your browser can reach Cloudflare’s STUN server over UDP and shows the public IP address and port reported by that server. “Reachable” confirms this specific exchange worked. “Unable to verify” does not necessarily mean all UDP traffic is blocked. “Setup Time” measures how long the check took, not UDP latency.

No, simply visiting a website should not change your DNS configuration. DNS settings are controlled by your device, browser, router, VPN, or network settings — not by the website you’re visiting. Malicious websites can still be dangerous, so enable Control D’s malware filter to block known harmful domains automatically, and use our website link checker before opening links you don’t trust.
