Actually nslookup does not use the hosts or the cache file it goes straight to DNS. It will use whatever DNS server the OS uses or one that you specify in the command. EG: use googles dns server nslookup example.com 8.8.8.8

Most browsers (probably all) cache the IP of sites, request web page in browser >not found> check browser cache >not found> check hosts file >not found> check OS cache >not found> send request to the DNS server specified in the OS networking config.

I went a bit farther and run my own DNS server using Pihole, I made two of them for redundancy https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole https://discourse.pi-hole.net/ https://pi-hole.net/

I just looked up Redit's ttl it;s set to 3 hours using nslookup -debug www.reddit.com ANSWERS: -> www.reddit.com canonical name = reddit.map.fastly.net ttl = 10794 (2 hours 59 mins 54 secs) -> reddit.map.fastly.net internet address = 151.101.1.140 ttl =...

Had a feeling it might be cached, Maybe reddit has long TTL

That should work, Have you tried using one space instead of tab Edit: not sure if the hosts file understands the second entry without a TLD (.com .org or similar) yes I know you can add more than one domain I think it;s around 8 if memory serves me right

Also if you just saved your hosts file changes and try to go to the site your browser may have cached the IP if that's the case just mash on the keyboard a bunch of times pressing ctrl+r or you could wait for the TTL to expire in which most cases nowadays is probably 5 min max. Another thing I...

The only things I can think of is did you add a port at the end (0.0.0.0 www.example.com:8080) because that will not work either or you did not save it with admin privilege's . Or maybe Microsoft broke it for good this time, one of these day's I will probably test myself. If you could post...

What url are you adding to your hosts file, Hosts file only deals with domain names any else will not work EG: this will not work 0.0.0.0 http://exampe.com/somethig 0.0.0.0 example.com/something 0.0.0.0 www.example.com:8080 EG: this will work 0.0.0.0 example.com 0.0.0.0 www.example.com I did...

I can only help with firefox, Go into settings and look for Application's

For anyone wondering what "Medicat Installer" is it seems to be similar to "Hiren’s BootCD PE (Preinstallation Environment)"

I would suggest staying away from looking in the registry, There are a million things in there that will total mystify you

That sounds pretty cool, Do you happen to know the commands that that I would need in a bash terminal on my Android phone to cause the plane I am traveling in to make it dive from 60,000 feet to around 100 feet.

Thanks for the tips

My ISP is Rogers in Canada I'm guessing some other user was up to something, I will end up waiting till the 2023 version comes out and try again, I'm in no rush
