Today I have moved the domain record benn.tech from based an ip address to a resolution using IPFS based on fleek. For DNS is am using Namecheap. This is how the setup now looks like:

Type Host Value
CNAME _dnslink.www _dnslink.bennitech.on.fleek.co.
CNAME _dnslink _dnslink.bennitech.on.fleek.co.
CNAME @ 4cbeeb4387fc7eacf4a4.b-cdn.net.
CNAME www 4cbeeb4387fc7eacf4a4.b-cdn.net.

I have verified the DNS setup using host -a -t any benni.tech 8.8.8.8. The response was good. Also DNS Checker was showng the correct response.

But a host -a -t any benni.tech which is served by my local dns server based on Pihole was still showing the wrong ip. A pihole restartdns helped here before the TTL has expired. So that curl and other tools were showing the right responses.

Firefox was still showing the old page. So that I have cleared the DNS cache in firefox using this entry on Stackoverflow. I have just opened about:networking#dns and have pressed the button Clear DNS Cache. This solved the problem.
