I try to configure custom DNS in the seetings for Network & internet. This is described in How to configure custom DNS on an Android device – Surfshark Customer Support . But when I edit the Network Settings/Advanced options the button ‘Save’ remains grey and inactive, even after having edited the DSN settings.
How can I edit and save the Network Settings/Advanced ? Why is it blocked to save them after having edited?
the SAVE button is active if you at least fill in the static ip address (having dhcp disabled). Mind the DNS entries can be overridden by private DNS (that uses the hostname for good reason - trust anchor) if enabled / on automatic
(I guess it could be made easier to use a non-private-DNS server globally that inside each networks settings, but then you can already go and use dns-over-tls / dns-over-https)
(your interface) “IP-Adresse”, 1st entry still grey - fill it out.
It’s the criteria to get SAVE active for a static config - give the interface a static ip
(dns IPs are secondary to that)
As said, Android could do this better… haven’t seen a regular phone, there must be a global dns config that is non-private. Last I checked /e/OS hides that in favor of private dns
@ tcecyk
Got it! Sorry for misunderstanding. After having edited IP-Adress (although it seemed to me that it was filled) I could also edit DSNs and SAVE.
Great
