Preventing Virgin Media hijacking my DNS
November 17, 2021 [Tech]Yesterday I learned that Virgin Media is inserting itself into some of my DNS requests. Much as I am not a fan of how powerful Cloudflare are, if they are telling the truth about their DNS, then it's safe, so I followed their instructions on how to use their DNS and then removed the default DNS and hopefully my Internet will work now.
From the serverfault answer by lauc.exon.nod:
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.dns "1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1" nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes nmcli con down "Wired connection 1" nmcli con up "Wired connection 1"
