DNS Server

The nameserver (DNS server) ordered list can be found here:

cat /etc/resolv.conf                                        16:59.14 Thu Sep 10 2020 >>>
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 10.100.102.1

  1. We can add nameservers that would be chosen before 10.100.102.1 by prepending them in sbin/dhclient:

    vi /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

    # prepend domain-name-servers $my_proxy_ip

    Checking the nameservers again, we see that my_proxy_ip is added before 10.100.102.1:

    cat /etc/resolv.conf                                        16:59.14 Thu Sep 10 2020 >>>
    # Generated by NetworkManager
    nameserver my_proxy_ip
    nameserver 10.100.102.1

  2. We then need to restart the Network Manager service:

    service network-manager restart

To disable the service (for setting up pihole) we can run:

sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved.service
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
