digweb is a small self-hosted DNS lookup tool. It doesn't have accounts, cookies, analytics, ads, or third-party trackers. Here's exactly what does and doesn't happen with your data.

What's not stored

Hostnames and results from your queries are not saved on the server. Each lookup runs, returns a result, and nothing about it is written to a database or file. Your query history is stored only in your own browser (localStorage) and never sent anywhere — clearing it or using a different browser/device removes it for good.

What is logged

Like essentially any web server, the reverse proxy in front of this app keeps standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested path) for a short period, used only for abuse prevention and debugging. Requests are also rate-limited per IP address, tracked briefly in memory and discarded — never persisted.

Where your queries actually go

This is a DNS tool, so by definition whatever hostname you look up is sent to whichever nameserver you select — including public resolvers like Cloudflare, Google, or Quad9 if you choose them. That's inherent to how DNS works (the same as running dig or nslookup yourself), and those resolvers have their own privacy policies governing what they do with queries they receive.
