[Solved] how do i change my DNS server?

Hey guys I'm unable to figure out how to change my dns server, I tried editing /etc/resolv.conf but it didnt work, I also tried edtitng /etc/dhcpd.conf but it was blank, nonetheless i added

static domain_name_servers=1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 84.200.69.80 84.200.70.40

but it still didn't change the dns server my computer is using (the one provided by isp, it's bad!)

How are you managing your network connection?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [Solved] how do i change my DNS server?

Since you use systemd-networkd, DNS is managed through systemd-resolved.

First systemd-networkd can be configured to use or ignore DNS settings received by DHCP (UseDNS= ...)
You can also manually specify DNS servers specifically in the .network files. (DNS= ...)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-networkd

Then you can set global fallback servers and a global override for the DNS server in the systemd-resolved configuration

Re: [Solved] how do i change my DNS server?

Thanks to progandy and my friend i figured it out.
Here's what i did:
i opened this file with my preferred editor /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network
and i added dns server adresses under [Network]
like this:

DNS=1.1.1.1
DNS=1.0.0.1
DNS=8.8.8.8
DNS=8.8.4.4
DNS=84.200.69.80
DNS=84.200.70.40

i haven't removed anything from that file i just added dns if anyone is wondering, and that seems to solved my issue so I'm leaving the solution here if anyone else encounter the same issue.

How are you managing your network connection?

I'm very new to this, but how do I find what is managing my network?

Having no destination.
