Does this answer your question? How do I switch to a closer Ubuntu mirror? — N0rbert, Nov 21 '21 at 14:07

1. Edit netplan File

sudo vi /etc/netplan50-cloud-init.yaml

2. Add Nameserver Google / Cloudflare or any, on nameserver

network:
    ethernets:
        [network-device]:
            ...
            nameservers:
                addresses:
                - 2001:4860:4860::8888
                - 2001:4860:4860::8844
                - 8.8.8.8
                - 8.8.4.4
                - 1.1.1.1

notes: don’t use tab on this file, only space allowed.

3. Apply and Test the Network

sudo netplan apply
systemd-resolve --status
