One way to stop Network Manager from adding dns-servers to /etc/resolv.conf file is to do this. So first open the nm conf file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

And add this to the [main] section:

dns=none

Save and exit.

No, Pi Hole doesn't reset this to default value. Please try what I said and let me know if it helps. Thanks – fedora Apr 05 '20 at 11:43
