Oh I see, yes there's not really any way around that, you have to query a public resolver or the public root DNS servers to get answers about public hostnames.
Best option is to use a DNS server that has no logging and good privacy claims. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
Thank you so much for the clarification and for the very useful link!
I'll edit my original confused post – or maybe delete it altogether.
I'd just leave it up and edit it, in case someone else comes across it and it helps them out too!
I'll do so.
May I ask you one more thing? I see that DNS0.eu speaks about setting their DNS resolvers in
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Do you know what's the difference between specifying the DNS there, and specifying it in the network configuration (for instance in Ubuntu, IPv4 -> Method = Automatic (Only addresses) & DNS Servers = [list])?Much gratitude!
I'm not entirely sure, it depends on how Ubuntu is handling DNS and if it will overwrite the resolved.conf file or not.
I would set it in the GUI and see if that works.
Thank you again! I'll investigate :)
