DNS Records to Add or Update

Medium DMARC Add DMARC Aggregate Reporting

Add a rua= tag to receive aggregate DMARC reports. Without reporting, you cannot monitor authentication failures.

Aggregate reports show who is sending mail as your domain and whether it passes authentication.
Record Type
TXT
Host / Name (add to existing DMARC record)
_dmarc.proton.me
Value / Content
rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@proton.me
Full record (click to copy)
_dmarc.proton.me TXT rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@proton.me
RFC 7489 §7.1
Medium DMARC Upgrade DMARC to Reject

Your DMARC policy is set to quarantine. Upgrade to p=reject for maximum protection — reject instructs receivers to discard spoofed mail entirely rather than quarantining it.

A reject policy provides the strongest protection against domain spoofing.
Record Type
TXT
Host / Name (update existing DMARC record)
_dmarc.proton.me
Value / Content
v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@proton.me
Full record (click to copy)
_dmarc.proton.me TXT v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@proton.me
RFC 7489 §6.3

Straight talk about your data.

We use two cookies, both essential:

  • _csrf — Prevents cross-site request forgery. Required for form submissions. Security-only.
  • _dns_session — Only exists if you choose to sign in. No account required to use DNS Tool.

We log your IP address for two reasons: rate limiting (so nobody abuses the service) and security (identifying malicious actors and complying with legal obligations). We check source geography for analysis accuracy — DNS responses vary by region, and knowing which resolver answered from where makes the science better.

No tracking cookies. No analytics cookies. No ad networks. No data brokers. Our code is open-core — the application framework is publicly available under BUSL-1.1 with timed Apache-2.0 conversion. Verify it yourself.

If you create an account and want out, account deletion removes your login and scan history. Public domain analyses remain available because they contain only public DNS records, already hashed. Full details: Privacy Policy.
