In VAF there will also be a vaf_linux_amd64 binary for linux users already compiled by me, but that’s not going to be always updated
Linux: Install
nim using: curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh and adding nim to path
Windows: Download
nim from https://nim-lang.org/install_windows.html and run finish.exe (you might need to reopen a cmd window for nim to load)
nimble build
A vaf binary file will be created in your directory ready to be used

Each time you visit a website, the domain-to-IP mapping is saved locally, cutting out the round trip to a remote DNS server on repeat visits. Stale entries are the most common reason to flush the DNS cache: a server moves to a new IP, but your OS or browser still routes to the old address. This guide covers how to clear the DNS cache on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and how to flush the separate cache stored inside Chrome and Firefox.
