DNS nameservers translate domain names to IP addresses. Here's how to configure them on your Breeze.

Temporary Change

Edit /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Note: This file may be overwritten on reboot by network management tools.

Edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf:

[Resolve]
DNS=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
FallbackDNS=1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1

Then restart:

systemctl restart systemd-resolved
