Use dnsmasq as system DNS service

Solution 1:

I don't know why you're trying to replace systemd-resolved, but if you need to run them at the same time...

Regarding dnsmasq and systemd-resolved...

Do a ps auxc | grep -i dns and ps auxc | grep -i resolv and look for dnsmasq and systemd-resolved, and if both are running, you need to disable the DNS part of systemd-resolved by editing /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and...

change:

#DNSStubListener=yes

to:

DNSStubListener=no

then restart systemd-resolve and dnsmasq, or reboot.

You need to reset the symlink that is /etc/resolv.conf

sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.OLD # save the old symlink

sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
