Disable DNS Configuration from NetworkManager in Linux Mint

Disable DNS Configuration from NetworkManager in Linux Mint published on

Overview

The initial goal was, that my openvpn client configuration is able to set the DNS server.

Somehow that was not possible, even though we have set dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1 in the ovpn file.

But nevertheless, perhaps you want to get rid of your Network manager fingering in your resolv.conf convfig, then follow below:

Steps to Do

From https://askubuntu.com/a/623956/733411

  1. Edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  2. Change to 
    dns=none

Now feel free use your /etc/resolv.conf

e.g. like that:

nameserver 9.9.9.9          # quad 9
nameserver 149.112.112.112  # secondary quad 9
nameserver 2620:fe::fe      # IPv6 quad 9
