Please provide instruction how to force SFOS X to use custom IP DNS service providers of the users choice. Already works in the UI for WIFI but not Mobile Data SIM?

One way - Connmanctl. Explained here - https://together.jolla.com/question/17806/add-the-ability-to-change-dns-settings-for-3g/ - with a prebuilt connmanctl file linked in comments. Tested and working well...
Another way - 1. Delete Symlink /etc/resolv.conf 2. Copy resolv.conf from /var/run/connman/ and paste in /etc/ folder, modifying nameservers as you like.

coderus ( 2018-04-16 23:48:39 +0300 )edit@coderus thank you filetug was able to open edit the file in txt. I added a DNS, restarted network connections and DNS is still routed through Phone SIM provider, ill restart the phone and try again.
DarkTuring ( 2018-04-17 02:00:21 +0300 )editI also have used this method on Xperia x compact, but found that resolv.conf was symlink, so deleted symlink, and made actual file, with preferred nameservers, and worked.
