Hi everyone! Can someone please walk me through changing dns on Fedora 38. I have pihole setup on my home server, but Fedora won’t use for the life of me. (It does work on my phone). Explain it like I’m 5, cos I’m losing my mind haha

    • Open the GUI network settings
    • Set DNS to the IP of the PiHole, make sure the “automatic” switch is off.
    • Do the above for each active interface (ethernet, wlan) and for both IPv4 and IPv6
    • Save/apply settings
    • Turn the interface(s) off, then back on
    • resolvectl flush-caches just in case

    Look at resolvectl dns to check there’s no DHCP-acquired DNS servers set anymore

    If you use a VPN, those often set their own DNS servers too, remember to check it as well.

      Thanks, I did that and so far so good. I did most of this before but it was reverting back to some other dns address and not working -_- now it works, so far

        If its reverting, you may have a fallback DNS configured somewhere, or your browser is using DNS over HTTPS, which sometimes will bypass whatever DNS server you’ve configured.
