hi, I want to re-launch this topic because I think important for net neutrality to be able to set our own DNS Resolver. So far, I remove the symbolic link of /etc/resolv.conf, create a real file resolv.conf with my DNS entries, and protect it with chattr +i. This settings survive to a reboot. I'm sure it's enough to resist to dhcp setting when you open your mobile data. Help appreciated, Regards

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
This can now be done via GUI. Every Sailfish user probably already knows, but let me write briefly (for new users coming from other mobil operating systems):
- Open Settings app from application list
- Select WLAN in the Connectivity section
- Press and hold the connection that you want to change its DNS, select Edit option from pop-up menu that appears
- Disable auto-retrieve IP address option
- Set primary and secondary DNS address according to the desired DNS service.

You can do that by editing the /etc/resolv.conf file. Make sure you have the developer mode enabled before trying to edit it.
