After you have saved the edited file you will need to restart your network service. The one reliable way that works for everyone is to warm boot your machine.

= NetworkManager =

If you when you fiddle with your DNS finds that your ''resolv.conf'' is overwritten by NetworkManager there is a few tricks available.

The NetworkManager's config drop folder is placed in <code>/etc/NetworkManager/confg.d</code>. In this folder you can place snippets which controls how NetworkManager works. The files should be named with a number and a description of its purpose and always end with ''.conf''. The files are then applied in numerical order from the lowest to the highest. A configuration in a file with a higher number will override what could have been configured in a lower numbered file.

== Use resolvconf ==

To have the resolvconf script handle the resolv.conf file for NetworkManager.

Create a configuration file in NetworkManager's config drop folder

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-rc-manager.conf

Save the file with this content

[main]

rc-manager=resolvconf

To effectively make DNS handling a manual task create a file named

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-dont-touch-my-dns.conf

Save the file with this content

[main]

dns=none
