Acrylic DNS Hosts not refresh

2

I've installed current version (0.9.31) acrylic DNS on Windows 8 machine and set DNS address to 127.0.0.1 in TCP/IP v4 settings. Then I added in ArcylicHosts entry:

127.0.0.1 *.dev

for wildcards.

But now I can't modify hosts file - if I enter some records and remove *dev entry, after restart DNS service nothing change. I tried to use purge cache file, restart PC too.

Even if I reinstall Acrylic software, the record *dev is still set, because I have response from ping to any *dev domain.

Does anyone has any idea to refresh ArcylicHosts.txt file? Please answer me.

The AcrylicHosts.txt file is reloaded each time the Acrylic service starts.

AFAIK the only other caches involved are the DNS client cache, which can be invalidated by the 1ipconfig /flushdns1 command, and, eventually, your browser's own DNS cache.

For example in Chrome you can access its contents by navigating to:

chrome://net-internals/#dns

But I've restarted my computer and flush dns manually from windows console, so Arcylichosts.txt should be reloaded. It is not a problem with browser cache, because I've checked it from CMD>ping something.dev and there is response every time. I think it is a problem with cache in Windows 8, but I can't refresh it. – Sebastian – 2016-06-11T09:00:58.187
