How to Clear DNS Cache
The DNS cache stores IP addresses of websites you've visited. If the IP of a site changes before your cache updates, you might experience connection issues or receive a 404 error. Clearing the DNS cache ensures your device fetches updated DNS information.
🪟 Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11)
- Open the Start menu.
- Search for Command Prompt, right-click, and select Run as Administrator.
- In the command window, type:
ipconfig /flushdns
Press Enter.
You’ll see a message confirming the DNS cache has been flushed.
🍏 MacOS (All Versions)
- Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
- Type the following command:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Press Enter.
You may need to enter your administrator password.
🐧 Linux (Ubuntu & Other Distributions)
- Open a Terminal.
- Depending on your distribution, use one of these commands:
sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches
Or
sudo service nscd restart
Press Enter.
Your DNS cache will be cleared.
🤖 Android (Version 9 and Above)
- Open Settings > Network & Internet.
- Tap Private DNS.
- Select Off, then Save.
- Switch back to Automatic and Save again.
- Alternatively: Restart your device to clear the DNS cache.
🧹 Now your DNS cache is cleared, and you can browse smoothly again! 🚀
