Degraded Performance: GoGuardian Admin – DNS Filtering
minorSep 10, 2026 · resolved Sep 12
After the resolution released yesterday, we have monitored our DNS traffic, our systematic monitoring tools and our Customer Support channels to identify any issues and we are confident that the resolution was successful. However, a handful of districts have reached out with lingering issues due to old requests remaining in the DNS cache. If you experience any issues like this, we wanted to provide the troubleshooting steps. Please see the steps below. To force your device to fetch updated network routes immediately, we recommend performing the quick DNS reset steps below. 1) Restart your web browser or test the site in an Incognito / Private window. 2) Flush your local DNS cache: a)Windows: Open Command Prompt, type 'ipconfig /flushdns', and press Enter. b) Mac: Open Terminal, type 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache', and press Enter. c) If using Chrome: Paste 'chrome://net-internals/#dns' into your address bar and click 'Clear host cache'. Alternatively, if you are seeing this issue across multiple endpoints on the same network, your local recursive resolvers, firewalls, or edge gateways may be caching the stale record. To fix: 1) Please flush your local DNS server caches (e.g., Clear-DnsServerCache in PowerShell or rndc flush for BIND) 2) Restart any network hardware acting as a DNS proxy, or 3) Temporarily forward upstream queries to public resolvers (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to bypass lingering ISP-level cache. We greatly apologize for the significant inconvenience and greatly appreciate the patience of those impacted. Feel free to reach out to Customer Support with any additional issues at https://docs.goguardian.com/welcome.
