How to flush DNS Cache in Firefox
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.
