edns0ClientSubnetMask

If you specify an IP address for edns0clientsubnetip, you can optionally specify the number of bits of the IP address that you want the checking tool to include in the DNS query. For example, if you specify 192.0.2.44 for edns0clientsubnetip and 24 for edns0clientsubnetmask, the checking tool will simulate a request from 192.0.2.0/24. The default value is 24 bits for IPv4 addresses and 64 bits for IPv6 addresses.

The range of valid values depends on whether edns0clientsubnetip is an IPv4 or an IPv6 address:

  • IPv4: Specify a value between 0 and 32
