I'm still waiting for them to get DNS and user services working. Then it'll finally be usable.

DNS

There's systemd-resolved. I don't know if you mean that it has some kind of limitation.

[-] Dhar@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

It doesn't work with private DNS servers or forward DNS over VPN. Removing it is always the first thing I have to do with new Linux installs.

It doesn’t work with private DNS servers or forward DNS over VPN.

Like, you want to have it query some particular DNS server?

From man 5 resolved.conf:

   DNS=
       A space-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to
       use as system DNS servers. 

       For compatibility reasons, if
       this setting is not specified, the DNS servers listed
       in /etc/resolv.conf are used instead, if that file
       exists and any servers are configured in it.

If you specify your private server there, it should work. For VPN, I mean, whatever VPN software you're using will need to plonk it in there. Maybe yours is not aware of systemd-resolved, is modifying /etc/resolv.conf after systemd-resolved has already started, and it doesn't watch it for updates?

In my /etc/nsswitch.conf, I have:

hosts:          files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns

I'm assuming that the "resolve" entry is for systemd-resolved.

With systemd-resolved, however, instead of using that DNS setting, add the following PostUp command to the [Interface] section of your WireGuard config file:

PostUp = resolvectl dns %i 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 149.112.112.112#dns.quad9.net; resolvectl domain %i ~.

When you start your WireGuard interface up, this command will direct systemd-resolved to use the DNS server at 9.9.9.9 (or at 149.112.112.112, if 9.9.9.9 is not available) to resolve queries for any domain name.

This not a kill tony joke?

No, kill Tony just sticks his thumb up his butt for Joe Rogan. Nothing to do with Linux.
