change DNS resolver?

DeeNet 2 years, 2 months ago

I created a Linode and installed openvpn(ubuntu 20.04 LTS) from marketplace. Everything works fine, clients can connect to the vpn server.

My question is how can I change the DNS resolver for that Linode? Currently I guess the vm is using the default configs which is Linode DNS servers:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
search members.linode.com

And, can I use a public DNS (example: 8.8.8.8) as a DNS resolver?

Thank you

You can change the default DNS resolver but beware unanticipated side effects!

I’m pretty sure it will get changed back to the default after you reboot your system.

File a support ticket & ask them about the particulars.
