Flushing the DNS cache

If a website is not resolving correctly after a DNS change, flushing your DNS cache often fixes it.

ipconfig /flushdns

You should see:

Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Clear-DnsClientCache

Note: Flushing the cache forces Windows to request fresh DNS records the next time you visit a site.

#dns#flushdns#networking

Find your local and public IP address on Windows using ipconfig and PowerShell in under a minute.
