Google Chrome's Incognito Mode is a private browsing feature that allows users to browse the web without Chrome saving their browsing history, cookies, or form data. When you open a tab in Incognito mode, Chrome operates in a more isolated session, where:
Key Features of Incognito Mode:
No Browsing History: Chrome doesn’t save the pages you visit, your search queries, or downloads to your browsing history.
Temporary Cookies: Websites visited in Incognito can set cookies, but those cookies are deleted once you close all Incognito windows.
No Saved Data: Form data, passwords, and other types of entered information are not saved.
Limited Tracking Prevention: While browsing privately, some data may still be accessible to websites (like your IP address), your employer (if you're using a work network), or your internet service provider.
How to Open Incognito Mode:
On Desktop:
Open Chrome, then press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows/Linux) or Command + Shift + N (Mac).
Alternatively, click the three dots in the upper right corner of Chrome, then select New Incognito window.
On Mobile (Android/iOS):
Open Chrome, tap the three dots in the top-right (Android) or bottom-right (iOS), then select New Incognito tab.
The ipconfig /displaydns command in Windows is used to view the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache. This cache stores information about the domain names and their corresponding IP addresses that your system has recently looked up. This helps speed up browsing, as your system doesn’t need to repeatedly ask a DNS server for the IP address of websites you've already visited.
How to Use ipconfig /displaydns:
Open Command Prompt:
Press Windows + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
Enter the Command:
Type ipconfig /displaydns and press Enter.
This will display a list of DNS records that Windows has cached. The output will show domain names, their resolved IP addresses, and other DNS record types like A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), and CNAME (Canonical Name) records.
What You’ll See in the Output:
Record Name: The domain name queried.
Record Type: Type of DNS record (e.g., A for IPv4, AAAA for IPv6).
Time to Live (TTL): The time remaining before the DNS entry expires from the cache.
Data Length: Size of the DNS response.
Section: Whether the entry is from a query or answer section.
Why It's Useful:
Troubleshooting: Helps in diagnosing DNS-related issues by allowing you to see which domain names are being resolved and whether outdated or incorrect records are cached.
Understanding Activity: Shows which domains your system has accessed, which can be useful for security or privacy checks
The ipconfig /flushdns command is used in Windows to clear the DNS Resolver Cache. This action removes all the cached DNS records, forcing your system to re-query DNS servers for any new or updated records when you visit websites.
When to Use ipconfig /flushdns:
Fixing DNS-Related Issues: If you're having trouble accessing certain websites due to incorrect or outdated DNS information (e.g., if a website’s IP address has changed), flushing the DNS cache can resolve the problem.
Improving Security: Flushing the DNS cache can help remove potentially malicious or tampered DNS entries that could be redirecting your web traffic.
Privacy: It clears any history of the domain names your system has resolved.
How to Use ipconfig /flushdns:
Open Command Prompt:
Press Windows + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
Enter the Command:
In the command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Effects of Flushing DNS:
Immediate DNS Re-query: The next time you try to access a website, your system will need to look up its DNS information again, as there is no cached record.
Potential Speed Impact: DNS lookups might take slightly longer after flushing, but only until the cache is populated again with fresh data.
