[SOLVED] (systemd) Restart a service when connectivity changes

Hi everyone,

Just set up my laptop with Arch, seems like only thing left to be perfect is dns resolution.

I'm using dnscrypt-proxy with systemd. I can connect/disconnect often via different interfaces (between wlan and ethernet, using NetworkManager).

I guess there is  a routing problem or something, when I change connected interface I can't get answers for my DNS queries from  53. port (dnscrypt) until I restart the service.

Is there a known solution, or a way to restart the service whenever a change occurs in connection state?

Thanks!

You can use a dispatcher script to restart the service.

$ man NetworkManager

Oh, thanks. Totally forgot about that feature. Just created 2-line script inside dispatcher.d and enabled the service.
