Hi,

How can I see the DNS server on jolla ?

How can I change the DNS server without it changes after the reboot ?

Thanks

Just changing the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf doesn't work for me anymore with SFOS 3.3.0.16 Rokua. Is anyone experiencing this same problem (or not)?

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 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.
