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! 🚀
