add the resolvconf package per sudo apt install resolvconf it is suggested by the dnsmasq package and mediates nicely between resolv.conf files from whatever, even multiple, sources and dnsmasq (thanks to hook scripts provided by dnsmasq). Read https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/openresolv/resolvconf.8.html to learn more about resolvconf. Cheers, Sven -- GPG Fingerprint 3DF5 E8AA 43FC 9FDF D086 F195 ADF5 0EDA F8AD D585
