TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache

TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache

Jochen Wersdörfer Jochen Wersdörfer

I tried to change some DNS records today, and even after the TTL was over, I couldn't get the updated records on my notebook. I flushed the DNS cache on macOS but it didn't work. After some debugging, I found that my FRITZ!Box might be the culprit.

How to do it

Just go to:

Heimnetz > Netzwerk > Netzwerkeinstellungen > IPv4-Einstellungen

And then deactivate DHCP and reactivate it afterward. This will flush the DNS cache without the need for a restart. My changed DNS records were available right after doing this 🤪.

🎬 A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

Movie poster for “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night”.

Loved the atmosphere of this film. And that it’s filmed in black andwhite. So, visually, this was already nice. Pair this with an Iranianvampire girl protagonist, great humour and a top-notch soundtrack andyou have a very fun movie!

🎬 V for Vendetta

Movie poster for “V for Vendetta”.

I probably didn’t fully appreciate V’s lyrical outpour, but I stillenjoyed it very much. Lot’s of “1984”, conspiracy-theories themes and aninteresting master-apprentice kind of relationship. Nice one!
