How to Troubleshoot Apple's Default DNS Limitations and Flush Your Windows DNS Cache

Are you experiencing issues with your internet connection or having trouble accessing certain websites? If so, it could be due to default limitations imposed by Apple after upgrading their software. One such limitation is the enablement of 'Limit IP Tracking' which can overwrite your DNS settings with an internal 10.x address. This can lead to DNS failures and connectivity issues.

In this article, we will explore how to troubleshoot this issue on Mac devices and provide a solution for clearing your Windows DNS cache.

Troubleshooting Apple's Default DNS Limitations

To begin troubleshooting, you need to check if the 'Limit IP Tracking' feature is enabled on your Mac device. To do so:

1. Click on the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner of your screen.

2. Select your wireless network name from the list of available networks.

3. Click 'Details' next to the network name.

If you find that 'Limit IP Tracking' is enabled, you can disable it by following these steps:

1. Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP

2. Uncheck the box next to 'Limit IP Tracking'

3. Restart your Mac device

Flushing Your Windows DNS Cache

If you're a Windows user experiencing issues with your internet connection, clearing your DNS cache can often resolve the problem. To do so:

1. Press and hold the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type 'ipconfig /flushdns' and press Enter.

This will clear your DNS cache and may resolve any connectivity issues you're experiencing.
