About These Numbers

Distinct IPs: Count of distinct source IP addresses that queried the resolver in the last 7 days. This is not households. A household can query multiple resolvers, so this is not a unique-across-both count. The headline number shown is from whichever resolver is busier.

Latency: Median (p50) resolver processing time for the last 24 hours, from whichever resolver is busier. This measures query-in to answer-out time at the resolver, NOT last-mile network latency or browser Secure DNS overhead. See the specification for details.

Bandwidth: NIC traffic on that resolver (all ports), not query-name volume. DNS packets are small.

Privacy

The resolver reads a query name to answer it, then does not store it. After the query is over, the operator cannot look up what was asked. Source IPs are kept for 7 days for rate limits and the public distinct-IP count, then deleted. The retained data cannot reconstruct query names.

List Source

Resolvers subscribe to the Narge hostname feed athttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/dov-max/narge-spec/main/dist/narge.txt. Cutline is a reference consumer of this feed. The list updates automatically every 24 hours.
