I daily need to connect to a VPN from my Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, and each time I do that I need to edit the resolv.conf file, since it is constantly updated by NetworkManager. Its content is reset to:

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.0.53

So I manually need to add a new line to be able to connect. Any idea how to make the new line to be permanent, or generated by the NetworkManager ?

TIA

What OS & release? (are you using server? or desktop? mention of NetworkManager implies desktop, but it's best if we're told) – guiverc Nov 11 '20 at 11:00

1st line: # This file is managed by man:systemd-resolved(8). Do not edit. so the answer is man:systemd-resolved – Rinzwind Nov 12 '20 at 20:56
