Anyway, here is how to reproduce the problem: - Go to network-manager settings GUI (network indicator -> Network connections) - Edit current connection (wlan0 in my case) - Go to IPv4 settings - Select DHCP (addresses only) - Set a DNS server, say 37.59.72.228 (it's the first server from OpenNIC project) - Click save - Click disconnect - Click connect In the summary, you can see the DNS server you just typed. But if you # cat /etc/resolv.conf then you see the DNS server provided by your DHCP server (in my case 192.168.1.1) So the only way to bypass DHCP's DNS settings is to hard-code the DNS in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head Since this can lead users to believe that they are using their favorite DNS server while they get answers from their ISP/Hotspot DNS, I checked the 'Security' box.
