This article covers ways on flushing your DNS cache on different operating systems in case your online information like DNS does not seem to change after connecting to the VPN server.
Windows
Open CMD with administrator rights.
Type this in the new window:
ipconfig /flushdns
macOS
Please open Terminal first.
According to your operating system version, type in these commands and enter root(user account) password to flush DNS cache.
OS X 12 (Sierra) and later
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder;sudo killall mDNSResponderHelper;sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
OS X 11 (El Capitan) and OS X 12 (Sierra)
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
Versions 10.10.4+
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Versions 10.10.1, 10.10.2, 10.10.3
sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches
Linux
The instructions for flushing your DNS cache vary from distro to distro. Please check your distro’s documentation for more information. Many distros, including Ubuntu 17.04+ and Fedora 33, do not use a DNS cache by default. In such cases, it might be worth flushing your browser’s cache instead.
Now please reconnect to the VPN server and check whether your online information is displayed correctly on ipleak.net
