Your DNS addresses will be determined by DHCP when your system gets its IP address. Usually, that's the router. Most routers act as a DNS proxy, so your DNS address is that of the router (in my case it's 192.168.8.1). Or it can return the DNS addresses returned by your ISP. It depends on how your router is configured.
