Privacy features such as
InPrivate browsing in
Internet Explorer 8 and similar features in
Chrome and
Firefox promise to protect your privacy by not keeping track of page history, temporary files and cookies. This may be enough to hide your tracks from a beginner computer user but there are still traces of what sites you visit within the
local DNS cache. An advanced user can run the
ipconfig /displaydns command in
DOS to view the most recent sites visited. So in order to have more secure follow these steps :-
1. Lets first open
Bing in
Internet Explorer 8 by using its
private browsing facility.
2. Open
DOS & run
ipconfig /displaydns command
.
3. The
DNS Cache shows where you have been.
4. The best way to improve the privacy of your InPrivate browsing sessions is to also clear the local
DNS cache after closing the browser. Open up an administrative level command prompt and type
ipconfig /flushdns and hit Enter.
