DNS IPs List

ScoutDNS operates a global Anycast network for improved resiliency and performance. All resolver IP addresses can be found within the application under the Help Icon > IPs list

ScoutDNS operates a closed, private resolver network for enhanced security and performance. As a result, our resolvers will not respond to queries from unregistered networks.

We maintain a list of primary and secondary Anycast IPs, as well as direct-access IPv6 addresses for our locations when required by a customer.
