Hi,
A fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04. I have DHCP serving the DNS servers: 10.11.13.21, 10,11.13.1, 208.67.222.222 (in this order), where
- 10.11.13.21 is pihole (DNS for LAN)
- 10.11.13.1 is router/gateway/default route
However, Kubuntu uses the gateway 10.11.13.21 as its primary DNS:
Code:
# resolvectl status
Global
Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: stub
Link 2 (enp0s31f6)
Current Scopes: DNS
Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 10.11.13.1
DNS Servers: 10.11.13.21 10.11.13.1 208.67.222.222
DNS Domain: example.net
This is probably because of the +DefaultRoute flag, as per 'dns' section here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software...esolvectl.html
That's a problem, because:
- the router (and any public DNS server) resolves URL server.example.net:1234 to my public IP address (I assume my USG router does hairpin NAT and packets from my PC are blocked by its firewall for port 1234).
- pihole DNS at 10.11.13.21 resolves a private address for server.example.net:1234 - which is thanks to static hosts on pihole and which is a wanted behaviour.
By the way, the "traditional" resolv.conf is correct:
Code:
# cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
nameserver 10.11.13.21
nameserver 10.11.13.1
nameserver 208.67.222.222
search example.net
It just that systemd-resolved.service adds its own stuff on top of it.
Any ideas why avoding DNS servers served by DHCP server would be a "feature" of default (K)Ubuntu installation?
P.S. I do not see this problem on other hosts on LAN: android phones, Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04.
