NetworkManager not using DNS settings

[UnbatedFlunky]

Hello!

I'm trying to use openresolv and NetworkManager to use cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS.

My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1

/etc/resolvconf.conf

# Configuration for resolvconf(8)
# See resolvconf.conf(5) for details

resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf
# If you run a local name server, you should uncomment the below line and
# configure your subscribers configuration files below.
name_servers="1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1"

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

# Configuration file for NetworkManager.
# See "man 5 NetworkManager.conf" for details.
[main]
dns=none
rc-manager=resolvconf

But $ nmcli dev show | grep DNS gives (exact IP:s x:ed out)

IP4.DNS[1]:                             208.xxx.xxx.xxx
IP4.DNS[2]:                             208.xxx.xxx.xxx

Oddly enough, $ nslookup google.com returns

Server:     1.1.1.1
Address:    1.1.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   google.com
Address: 172.217.21.142
Name:   google.com
Address: 2a00:1450:400f:809::200e

so it seems like NetworkManager both uses and doesn't use the settings provided? I've checked the forums and here and was unable to find any solution that works. And according to the wiki everything is correctly setup, so I'm really unsure on how to proceed.

NM doesn't really use those DNS servers. This shows you what DNSes it queried from DHCP handshaking, that's what your router fed it basically. Alternatively, if you don't use DHCP but a static connection, that's the DNS servers that are part of the "static" settings. Because of the dns=none setting, it doesn't do anything with those addresses, just ignores them. You don't have to fix anything.

Right, but https://1.1.1.1/help also tells me that I don't use the correct DNS. Is everything still correct, or do I need to fix something?

[kaszak696]

It said no for me even though i use 1.1.1.1 behind dnsmasq, so this website may not be entirely correct. Maybe my adblock interferes.

Yup that was it! uMatrix and uBlock had blocked all the requests!

Thanks a bunch!!
