is there a replacement for namebench for mac

This is a very cool service though and I wish you the best (and hope you get enough resources thrown at you to make a real difference!).Īpparently someone else who tried to email you has found that your email address bounces. When I initially pinged 9.9.9.9 (I read 'Quad9' and, despite having _just_ woken up, make sense of the nice name) it didn't work. If you're curious about your DNS servers, I haven't found a better tool than namebench to investigate their performance.Question: I'm in Sydney, Australia, aka the home of the most expensive bandwidth/peering in the world, IIUC :) However, it seems to run fine in Sierra (and Mavericks before that).

It's not new code-the latest version (1.3.1) is from 2010. Namebench can also be built from source, so you could use it in Terminal, but I haven't tried that.

(CHeck the FAQ for answers about hijacking, and anything else in the output). Note: You may also see lots of scary messages about a DNS being hijacked you really don't need to worry about these.

The report may tell you your current DNS is the fastest, or it may have recommendations for other servers. Thanks Marc!Īfter namebench has done its thing, your browser will open showing a page with results, including some 'eye candy' charts like this one. This will open the results page in your browser-including the below-referenced eye candy-so you can compare the various DNS that were analyzed. Open Terminal and paste this command: find /var/ -iname 'namebench_*.html' 2>/dev/null | xargs open However, thanks to commenter Marc K., you can still see the output once it's done.

While the app still runs in High Sierra, you won't see any output.
