![]() That option does require the installation of an additional package. I’ve had to manually edit OpenVPN config files provided by VPN providers and add that option in there. ![]() Since that option is optional, it’s often omitted. In the OpenVPN config file, there’s an optional option (I forgot what it’s called) that tells it to use the DNS providers that belong to the OpenVPN provider while connected. With some other operating systems, they may handle OpenVPN config files differently. In a standard OpenVPN config file, there’s usually additional syntax that has to be added manually. Under no circumstances should a VPN provider require you to edit a config file that’s part of the distribution, /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/nf, etc. ![]() I think the problem is the OpenVPN config file they give you, but I can’t prove that unless I see it. DNS set to systemd's 127.0.0.53 - how to change permanently? One of the issues with using a VPN is that some banks, etc block you logging in if they recognise that you are coming via a VPN so you need to disable and revert as and when necessary. I think most apps probably just use the host file and DNS. On a public forum, (stackxchange?), it was stated by one person that removing 127.0.0.53 slows down Ubuntu. This is nf is updated from another file elsewhere and I am looking into this currently. I am still looking further into this but think that it would be good for a video as others may or have come across it. I also came across some information that indicated that if you created a completely new file it would not be overwritten, but I have not come across any confirmation and I have not tried it yet. The other thing is that every time you restart nf is overwritten with the defaults so just adding Surfsharks IPs will only work in that session. However it can play havoc with some apps though it’s only Surfshark that so far has an issue with it on my machine. (Ubuntu appears to use this as some form of local caching server though is part of systemd-resolved that can be set up in different configurations.) From all accounts chrome also uses it and possibly other apps. I found that the problem is the server 127.0.0.53 in the nf file. Now to me this is wrong so I investigated further. (Surfshark uses OpenVPN.) Surfshark notified me to delete nf and replace with another file named the same but with their servers IP addresses in it. I tried a few things so eventually uninstalled and notified Surfshark. However when I installed it on POP OS it installed but you could not get out. Have you used a VPN before?
