systemd-resolved additional config files

Quickstart

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-no-local-resolver.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 (because they should exist anyway as I don’t trust systemd-resolved entirely. Anyway if there truly is no local resolver, systemd-resolved will detect that and act accordingly.)
    • To rephrase, this is sto be used together with other files, especially some of those beginning with dot-.
  • 00-only-local-resolver.conf - for when there is known local resolver. Don’t combine this with the other files.
  • 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    • Then again when was any system that outdated to not have working DNSSEC?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.
