# systemd-resolved additional config files
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-resolved.service
|
|
sudo ln -rsf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
# After changing configuration
|
|
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Files explained
|
|
|
|
- `00-defaults.conf` - configuration that should be used everywhere.
|
|
Enables DNSSEC (regardless of systemd-resolved not handling it properly),
|
|
enables opportunistic DoT, caching and local DNS servers.
|
|
- `dot-*.conf` - configuration to use the DNS provider with DNS-over-TLS. If
|
|
captive portals are a concern, `DNSOverTLS=opportunistic`. At least one of these
|
|
should be used in addition to `00-defaults.conf`
|
|
- `nordvpn.conf` - includes NordVPN's resolver addresses for hosts using it
|
|
- `README.md` - you are reading it right now.
|
|
|
|
## General commentary
|
|
|
|
- DNSOverTLS became supported in systemd v239, strict mode (true) in
|
|
v243 (big improvements in v244).
|
|
- TODO: find out when SNI became supported, I have just spotted it in the
|
|
fine manual in 2020-06-??.
|
|
- Domains has to be `.~` for them to override DHCP. See https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/12/dns-privacy-in-linux-systemd
|
|
without which I wouldn't have got this right.
|
|
- DNSSEC may not work if the system is down for a long time and not updated.
|
|
Thus `allow-downgrade` may be better for non-tech people, even with the
|
|
potential downgrade attack. There are also captive portals, affecting
|
|
`DNSOverTLS`. Both take `true` or `false` or their own special option,
|
|
for DNSSEC the `allow-downgrade`, for DNSOverTLS `opportunistic`.
|
|
- Then again when was any system that outdated to not have working DNSSEC?
|
|
- TODO: return to this configuration should that actually happen?
|
|
- I am actually running Unbound simultaneously with `resolv.conf` pointing
|
|
to both with `options rotate edns0 trust-ad` which might workaround that
|
|
potential issue.
