Cannot change DNS nameservers in Kali Linux

I am trying to set dns for nameservers. I have changed in nano /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and restarted Network manager, but it only displays my internal IP not the changed dns servers??

Hello brightlite, I am glad that you use Kali Linux. It is a wonderful tool and kernel when used correctly. Now to answer your question it is probably because NetworkManager is handling your resolv.conf. You can try this:

root@kali:~# nmcli connection show Wired\ connection\ 1 | grep 'ipv4.dns:'ipv4.dns
root@kali:~# nmcli connection modify Wired\ connection\ 1 ipv4.dns root@kali:~# nmcli connection reload

I hope this fixes your problem.

There you go! :slight_smile:
