That is intentionally done by NM to prevent leaking DNS queries. Which is privacy sensitive (ie. do _not_ use "public" dns, to query VPN encrypted hostnames).
If you do not want to use router configured DNS servers, you can specify per-connection DNS server overrides in network-manager, which is imho what you should be doing. Ie. wipe the resolved.conf settings of DNS=, go into system settings into each of your connections (ie. the wlan & ethernet one) and in ipv4/ipv6 tabs, turns of DNS automatic, and specify manual DNS servers there. Then NM will push those to resolved (note you will need to reconnect). It's best to use per-connection DNS servers, and specifically per connection DNS overrides and configure that all in NM. Do not override / provide fallbacks in resolved.conf. It is poor taste. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812744 Title: resolved uses only per-link dns servers Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I configured multiple DNS servers in the DNS= option. The manual page says: "DNS requests are sent to one of the listed DNS servers in parallel to suitable per-link DNS servers" What I see however, is that each DNS request is sent twice to the same server, e.g.: connect(15, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.1")}, 16) = 0 connect(16, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.1")}, 16) = 0 If a per-link server is pushed by network-manager, it's always that one. Since my per-link server can lag a lot, that is annoying.
